I've tried that - it jams periodically when the teeth of one wheel
meet point-to-point against the teeth of the wheel it's driving.
This seems to be because of the strange angle at which the first
wheel approaches the second at it initially meshes.
HOWEVER: I have finally found a mechanism that works:

| Nice work! Could you potentially use a ratchet mechanism or maybe a step motor set up (with a rubber band) to help with the "coating" problem? Jona ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Baker" <sjbaker1@airmail.net> To: "Kevin L. Clague" (...) (23 years ago, 4-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics)

| Steve, If the precision is due to the axe slipping while not being driven, you could consider using a pully off a micro-motor. It has a friction slip mechanism at one end, and an axle hole at the other. You could use the axle hole to stablize the (...) (23 years ago, 4-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics)
