Re: pic: AndyMark has the Nano; we have the Shuffle!
The Shuffle is an AndyMark ToughBox, but configured differently. This year we are in somewhat of a budget crunch, and Rob was looking for a way to save some money. After going through our shelves of parts and finding a bin full of random gears, and a bin of AM ToughBox cases, we realized we had about 6 ToughBoxes. Not being able to use the full size TB this year we were going for the Nano, but that was an expensive investment this year. So we took some 3/8 lexan, found all the bearings and bits to the original ToughBox systems, and a few hours later we had the Shuffle! Amazingly the prototype we build was all by hand, and it works unsettlingly well for a hand built gear box. Hopefully Rob and the rest of the team will be posting more soon.
