Re: pic: Modular Gearbox
One more thing I want to remind you (and sorry to dominate the posts of this thread!) is that you want to make sure all of the tubing sizes you're using are readily commercially available. For example, .100 wall tubing is very uncommon outside of what Vex sells; most of it is 1/8" wall and 1/16" wall. Also, some of the odder sizes are only available in 6063 tubing, which, albeit weaker and crummier to machine, it is adequate for this application in 1/8" wall if there isn't a 6061 alternative.
