Aha ... so it is the drive train that fails. The drive train I used on my model was
fairly compact and entirely contained in the crawlers. The key part was a
worm gear meshing with a 40-tooth gear in a Throwbot (Slizer) gearbox. This
combination allows large mechanical advantage in a small space. Pictures and
