Friends, Welcome to my building arena!

So I’ve been doing a little building this week, and have come up with a few
ideas.
I figured quite a few people would be using those exoforce/knight’s kingdom
joints, and I wanted to do something a little more challenging:
I’ve wanted to make a worm gear frame for some time, so I have been playing
around with various gear combos, trying to make them small but strong. As
they are now, they’re pretty generic, and can either be used in a quadraped
frame or a biped frame.
One nice thing to come out of this project is that I found a nice way to
eliminate the slop in worm gears:
The concept is similar to a techique described by Brian Cooper in his
teknomeka instructions, but this uses different parts, and is a little more
compact (I think).
Unfortunately, I’m running short on parts and time, and next Friday I have
to leave town for a while on
business, so
whatever I don’t finish by then won’t get done. But I’ll see what I can do!
Later,
Chris

That looks awesome Chris.
Recently, I’ve been looking over your
BS joint tech folder
for ideas. You’re the only builder I know who has dedicated himself to
creating compact geared joints. Hopefully, one day I will incorporate some of
your ideas into my mecha!
Can’t wait to see what you come up with next!

Thanks! I’ve always suspected that the main .mecha worm gear builders were
exploiting the gears to create the largest mecha the gears could support. After
playing with a teknomeka frame, I discovered that there is a huge amount of
articulation that is never seen once the armor is added. A smaller, but rigid
frame may support a skin and still be super-posable. I guess I’ll find out soon
enough...
Later,
Chris
