just for andy.... considering he helped me earlier this year to get some free structural profiles (aka. 80/20 stuff).... thanks andy, remind me to shake your hand at florida (or bow and kiss ur feet

)....either way is a great honor for me.
anyhow, thanks to a combination of gear ratios, drill speed, tips, advice, etc.... all from JoeJ, KenL, AndyB, to name a few (and everyone else who replied to my unending questions)......
the hint is we rotate a 720 degrees (+/- 30 degrees) in one second. this was accomplished on tiled smooth flooring....which by the way I am not demonstrating as much because it is eating up our wheels.
Fast enough? you tell me. As andy pointed out, this speed it difficult to maneuver as I have discovered. I am finding solutions via software.
