| | | | | | Here is what I've calculated on this new component "gear wheel" (my calculations could be MILES off of correct, mind you): -Teeth count is approximately 96 on the outside. -Outside diameter is 24 studs -Inside diameter is 20 studs -The strip running (...)

The big problem with rotary dumps till now has been what is it that you rotate? till now nothing has been both large enough and round enough. Once you have (...)
