I have 6 pistons set up in a circle which are split into 2 objects: the piston and the rod. Both are parented to individual plain empties, which have Damped Track constraints applied that point to the other. These empties are then parented to cylindrical mounts.
Moving the smaller of the mounts displays the desired results in terms of tracking the other empty, but the piston rods are misaligned and don't correctly target the other empty.
When moving the larger mount, the pistons move correctly but the rods start to jitter about and move incorrectly without tracking. This is odd as the larger piston works correctly but the rods are misbehaving. Is there something I'm overlooking that's causing this issue?
