I am trying desperately to set up the links for this pneumatic actuator. Essentially the red pieces are end points of the system and while they are meant to rotate, it’s not so important for the animation (since you can’t tell), but I need the links to remain facing properly (about the green pin) while the ‘look at’ constraint or something keeps the 2 shafts facing as they should.
The goal is to set this so that should I move either red piece, the rest of the system will move as it should normally (the pivots working and such) and as the pieces get pulled apart, the shafts will pull away from eachother (I don’t care about limits for this part though).
I need to control 6 of these by the movements of a single platform which is why I need them to work as a system instead of keyframing everything. But I’m new to this and REALLY need the help.
All pics/max files(zipped) are attached but can also be found online:

Please see the pics here for the parts involved:
I can’t express how desperate I am. I will be so grateful for any help with this.
