Here are some closeups of the flex rocker plus pics of the reinforced top ring. For more info on flex rockers check out Mel Bartels' site, esp. the section on the trilateral mount:

BTW the Tridob uses a rigid ground ring and 'flex-rocker' rather than a rigid rocker box and thin ground board like many designs. My current work in progress is a F3.6 22" version of the Obsession UC.
