Re: pic: CGX-115, cam-counterweighted cycloidal drive
As I understand this mechanism, the cyclodial gear nearest the cim drives against the mounting plate of the cim, which would be fixed against the main structure of the bot. The other cyclodial gear is driving against another plate which is mounted to the arm.
Because both cyclodial gears advance in the same direction, wouldn't this gearbox just provide a powered zero output?
BTW, great work, it's actually because of you that I know that these gearboxes exist at all.
