Steward Platform with unevenly distributed joint attachments

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I was trying to build a steward platform with the universal joints unevenly spaced (in the top plate). To be more specific, to have the universal joints more to the left and right side of the top plate of the steward platform rather than front and back. Would this platform configuration have problems? I wanted the top plate to move a maximum of +/-10 degrees roll, pitch and yaw. Given the conservative profile of the movement, would it be too naive to assume that I will get away with singularities?

What other problems can I anticipate?

Thanks
