Thanks for the pic, Tobbe!
But I'm mildly annoyed at the wheel. Why?
Because it would be a stunningly good turret
ring for a warship or very large crane (or tank),
<i>except</i> that there seems to be very little
ability to hold the wheel immobile inside a
structure and allow the interior gearing to turn
alone. A few well-placed Technic pin holes in
the ring between inside and outside wheel would
have been very helpful.
I'm still going to try, because two of these
together with a suitably robust gear system
and interior bracing structure or backbone
would produce a very, very nice spacecraft
centrifuge--but I'm not really that optimistic.
I like the wheels as a concept but I'm not quite
as happy as I could be.
There's always my Dremel tools, though. Sigh.
