#[FIXED] How to make a HingeConstraint rotate around an object without rotating the object?

To clear things up, I'm trying to create a ride that swings in a circular motion, but I want the carriage itself to maintain the same orientation all the way through. I'm currently using a Servo HingeConstraint to control the rotation of the arms at the top, and then a regular HingeConstraint to keep the carriage in place at the bottom. I've seen discussion of using multiple HingeConstraints in one place, but I have no clue how that would work. Suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Example of how the carriage should be moving:

dang , nice build

#

have u made all the parts massless?

#

also have you checked that the spacing is right for the connections

#

what happens if you start doing it in the other direction?

#

are you applying an upward force on the one that is not working right?

I didn't make the build, which I think is why nothing lined up correctly. I fixed the issue by using AlignOrientation to keep its Orientation the same all the way through.
