Hi Thomas, I have not looked at your code but I have an idea that you 
might be able to adapt.
Some years ago I did something similar for a TC-RTC animation. I used 
splines to control the motion. In the animation below (it is cyclic and 
should be viewed as a loop) each row is unioned (if that is a word). The 
unions can be translated then rotated. This should give you the motion 
required.
