Hi all,

I've got an intriguing little MOC coming up that hopefully will interest

In the meantime, here is something I could use some help on. For precise
operation, I'm using a dual differential drive as described by the Ferrari
brothers in their book. My setup is farily different from theirs, mostly
because I need to save space. I've uploaded to brickshelf 2 dats and 4 POV
jpegs of how it looks right now. You might want to take a look.

Anybody can come up with a more compact design?


Here's yet another shrunken dual differential design.
It uses worm gears to drive both differential housings as a space saving
measure. This also the adds the feature (?) of a bit more gear reduction.

There's a few pics of the design here :
