I'm getting a good deal of inspiration from everybody's links - thanks guys!
Alex - great designs. You have a good selection of differential apparatuses
(apparati? :) ) on your page. How fast do your rovers go? I've tried several
designs of my own but in my experience accuracy is almost always inversely
related to speed. I have a really nice transmission right now that's accurate
when turning to almost 1/10th of a degree, but it runs _so slow_. Oh well.
I'll post another LDraw of my this most recent rover when I get it together.
P.S. Are these LDraws proving helpful to anyone? Sorry about the roundabout
way I'm submitting designs, but as of yet I don't have a web page to grace
with pictures.
