| Now that is freaking awesome - but do they supply the same amount of torque as the 'standard' ones do? Also, that gearbox 2, looks nice and all, might come in handy, but I prefer having more control over my placment of gears. I think it would be (...) (21 years ago, 22-Aug-03, to lugnet.robotics)

It would be low cost (since it is passive) and offer much better resolution than the current rotation sensor for applications requiring <270 degrees (...)

| I think gear blocks like that would be awesome. So long as they still follow standard lego units, they probably convey a lot of advantages over the standard gears. They can probably handle a boatload more torque, great for robots, especially arms, (...) (21 years ago, 23-Aug-03, to lugnet.robotics)
