Step on up Mate!

I like it! Twisted Evil A mini Backlash is a spinner form we havent seen yet!?
Im sure some good planning on youre part could also see that built
as an invertable robot?-that would be one above maybe the Snak Masheen and Orbit type layouts(both great machines which were highly effective at
dissing out trouble!)Good luck with it!-Jas

Thanks Jason. My only worry is the wheells getting too big to be driven by the drills (is this a legitament worry?) or too heavvy for the weight limit. Also if it was inverted the teeth would be hitting down, forceing me up, which might be bad for the robot. Now you mention it it does look like backlash...

So I'm guessing the legacy of Douglas Adams lives on in the next generation?

Good designs never die they just get rebuilt minus the kinks Laughing

@ Bort: Damn right! XD

@ Build: i'm just wondering what bigger wheerls will be good. The wheels on that are 125mm "Richmonds" from the Crystalnode CAD database.
