I've been working on this all mechanical robot for about 8 months.
These pictures show a technique I use to keep the technic turntables bound
together using the threaded axle and nut. This way they will not pry apart
due to the forces imposed on the joints.
The Upper Arm Rotate, and Upper Arm Shoulder Rotate use this technique.
The Hips make use of the technique as well.
As to where the part comes from, I forgot. Others have pointed it out in the
past. It comes from an old Technic Set(s).
The waist pivot point is bound together with Technic Beams, no threaded axles.
The ankle twist uses technic beams and a series of "C" clamps that I created
from alternating plate and tile sandwiching. All joints need to use some
sort of reinforcements to help manage the weight and power transfers.
I make my journey towards the knee.
Next steps:
Knee build
Upper Leg rotate
~Blend~
Waist pivot checks
Final detail
I have the upper leg rotate modules completed. I just need to build the knees.
YAY!
