Re: pic: Something is blocking the 548 display case!

We have one here on 148 that we use all the time for random things. In my opinion, the most useful things we make are encoder couplers. The VERY coolest thing we ever made was a custom cog which meshes with a standard #35 sprocket. This allowed us to very simply integrate an encoder into our steering gearbox on Tumbleweed.

I remember geeking out a little when someone suggested it, but maybe I'm just easily amused.
