Unfortunately I couldn't fit the rolling in. I was running dangerously low
on brown bricks and couldn't extend the chassis any longer to squeeze that
mechanism in. The gearbox that makes the cams work took up a lot more space
than i had hoped.
The widgets are just that, widgets. It's not supposed to be anything in
particular, it just is.

Oh, it's not so bad. :) Don't worry, I still have two space creations
banging around inside my head that I'll be building soon enough. (relatively)
