Armor removed from one side for a skeletal cutaway:

Hey, I was checking out that pic of the hip (with armor removed), and I noticed
shock absorbers attached to the technic turntable.  Is that to help eliminate
some of the slop in the swing out motion of the leg?

Just out of curiosity, how do you deal with the worm gear slop?  I find that
throwbot gearboxes eliminate most of the primary slop (due to the worm gear
sliding on the axle) but not all of it.  If I'm making a gearbox using technic
triangles, I can eliminate all of the primary slop by cutting a "rib" off of a
technic corrugated tube and and placing it in the space in which the gear would
slide.

But if I'm making a gearbox using those half width liftarms, I can't do that.
Plus secondary slop is bad, too (8 tooth gear wiggling in between worm gear
teeth).  Is that what you're using the shock absorbers for?
