(...) Wes, The mini synchro drive LOOKS really cool. I wish I had a third turntable so I could build it. Looks like Pitsco is giong to get a call on Monday morning... It's not really clear from the photos I looked at closely, but I'm assuming the (...) (25 years ago, 14-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) No, they don't mesh. The outer gears don't turn either, so they _could_ mesh and it wouldn't matter. (...) Sorry, I hate loading pages littered with huge pics myself. I put this up without accessing it over the internet to see what the (...) (25 years ago, 14-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics)

Wes, We exhchanged e-mail ealier about the micro-synchro on your Web page (very cool). I'm building it at the moment to try it out, but I'm having a real hard time finding small-wide elastic bands which are small enough to fit the hubs. I know the (...) (25 years ago, 15-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Here's the bad news - I found them in my kitchen. Rubber bands are used a lot in packing fresh vegetables and I save them. I hunted through until I found some that were a fit; so I have no source. If you can't find bands that are a good fit, (...) (25 years ago, 15-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Ahhhh, *that's* where I've seen them -- holding the brocolli together. Right, I'm off to the grocery store to see if they will give me 6 (I don't think I'm up for that much brocolli right now). Cheers JP (25 years ago, 15-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics)

Bah, And I thought mine was small. Compared to yours, mine is a big hulking behemoth. :) (I know Wes in real life so I can only hope that maybe he was somewhat inspired by my design. ;) ) My linkage is completely different and not nearly as clever (...) (25 years ago, 15-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics)

Wes, You can add me to the list of impressed synchro enthusiasts! :-) Very nice design. Your compact design inspired me also... So, I went off and found another suitable tire for the small wheel hubs. It's actually two smaller o-rings and a larger (...) (25 years ago, 15-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics)
