It is a REALLY useful way to spin something at a distance.
Pulleys are laser cut acrylic 1/8th thick. We cut a ton of these with a "FIRST standard" bolt hole pattern 1/2" increments. We then can stack up plates to make pulleys. These are not just good for actual robots but especial for prototyping.
Loop Gauge of wire is 1/4" steel. We had it laying around the shop.
Toro Horns. You are not going to believe it: Schedule 80 PVC (thicker wall than Schedule 40). I heated up some 1/2" hex shaft and melted it in place so that a Versaplanetary shaft fits tight inside.

* which roughly stated is (6) #10 holes on a 1.875" bolt circle with a 1.125" center hole. |
I am assuming this is in the works as well, but we are really curious on the reduction used for the Toro Horns and if you feel that was the optimum reduction or would have used something else if you had access to it?
