You got me thinking a lot about anti slop techniques after checking out your
ankle joint on Teknomeka. I used to just chop up technic corrugated tubing to
eliminate slop in worm gears...but Sophie would call that cheating...so I’ve

We complain about the slop from worm gears being too short, but there’s also the
axle flexibility and the lack of a perfect fit between the 8 tooth gears and the
worms...there are all sorts of “subtle torments” in technic...
