Hi everyone - if anyone can help with this, I would greatly appreciate any advice. 

I need to create a gyroscope (pictured above), I've played around with motion and constraints, but have not had much luck.

The outer ring is the support ring with no movement. It is connected to the middle ring, which rotates on a Y axis. The problem comes with the connectors that attach the middle ring to the inner ring rotating on the X axis. I can't get the connectors to follow both rings so they appear attached.     

Thanks again for any help!!!
