But what is it for?

The Fisher Price gearbox is used for the rotation of the arm joint. The gearbox is chained up to a 72 tooth aluminum sprocket. We used the stock gearbox, but made some modifications to increase the robustness and reliability.

"Enthusiasm is one of the most powerful engines of success. When you do a thing, do it with all your might. Put your whole soul into it. Stamp it with your own personality. Be active, be energetic, be enthusiastic and faithful and you will accomplish your object. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm" -- R.W. Emerson
