Wow... super realistic and very smooth running. I can't wait to see this automated with the Arduino! No bending at all, and very strong overall.

I really like the tube supports, they look great.
The yellow gear stands a bit out though, do you have a black one instead?

I don't know, but the real one doesn't have side supports does it?

Yah thats my goal:D

It are all black rods, they are so much stronger!
Also, counterweights take lots of G-forces off.

Thanks! And yeah, automation will hopefully be awesome!

Sadly enough I don't have black ones:(
I will make a big base from snowflakes though, so you probably wont see them.

You know thats impossible to do with knex, there aren't any stirdy enough axles.
So guys, today I will try to make a nice base to it, although there's a pretty strong chance that I will sleep all day, since I feel like doing that.
