personaly i dont think they will be large enough to build a rotary. this is
mainly because the center point of the rotation gear is also in the same
position as the couplers. this is at least in modern rotary dumps. a good
solution might be to use the angled axle joiners to make two circles.
mounted between then would be 24tooth gears that conect to a large loop of
chain that would rotate the structure.
