I didn't have the heart to tell anyone that the reason our AS 206 SP machine
has a 3:2 ratio is beacuse of the 24:16 tooth gears used on the original
LEGO model. I never did make a LEGO model of the Side Entry machine. I
wanted to, but as you pointed out it is almost impossible. The only way it
seems to be able to be done is with 16:8 tooth gears, which is of course
impractical because of the prohibitave amount of backlash in the small
teeth.
Seriously, sweet idea though. I'm touched :) Started on a marble robot
today.
