The trigger is the “latte dispenser”!

I am now working in my real color scheme: white and grey (not white and dark red ... which I do like too).

I was able to use Christopher Smead’s new turntable worm gear idea. I didn’t have any space under the turntable for the gears so I had to invert the mechanism and place the gears on the top. It turned out nice.
Thanks Chris.

To center the gear in the rear of the Mecha I used two 8z gears.

Very cool WIP photos. I love that your mecha is so deadly even the designer is in danger. Glad to see people using the ideas everyone’s pouring out, especially that cool turntable.

Look forward to seeing your finished Iron Mecha stylin’s
