Rolling Ellipse part 2: Wacky Vehicle

While you have learned in the rolling ellipse tutorial how to roll an ellipse on the floor, we will now use this expression to build a funny moving vehicle. As I am no artist I won't focus on modelling issues, but on the math to make this little thingy move.

MODELING
Let's build a simple proxy model of a vehicle. We'll start with the wheels:
Create a polygon cylinder (radius = 1.0; height = 0.3; subDivs around axis = 20; subdivs on caps = 0; axis = z;), rename it to "wheelFL" - this will be our front-left wheel. Delete its history.

Scale the wheel by 2.0 in x-direction. Create a locator "locFL", make it a child of the wheel. This will be the contact point with the main body later on.
Note: Of course you are free to use a nurbsCylinder, too.

Dublicate the wheel 3 times. Rename the new wheels to "wheelFR", "wheelBL", "wheelBR". Update the child locators accordingly, too.
Move "wheelFL" to [3,1,-3], "wheelFR" to [3,1,3], "wheelBL" to [-3,1,-3], "wheelBR" to [-3,1,3].
