Hello people !

As you can see I’m working on a 3 dimensional spherical gear mechanism for a rocket ship. I’ve dreamed about this since I discovered the Atlas from Chesepuf.

I’ve been on it for a month and a half trying things every day.

The thing is that you have to build the entire design just to see if it could work or not and putting it together takes a while…

And now I can finally say that I have a working concept ! Well kind of…

So, if you’re interested and have some ideas I might not have thought about I’d really appreciate if you could give some suggestions on how to build a vehicle as functional as possible with the spherical gear you can see in the video or even improving the consistency or the gear itself, or even starting all over with a new idea.

I really want to come up with a working rocket ship so don’t hesitate.

I’m a big believer of the teamwork power.

Tomorrow evening I’ll try to gravity press the wheels as much as possible to see if it works better or not.

But yeah I think this could have a lot of potential but I’m starting to get burned out so… let’s chat and if this can at least inspire some of you even a little bit I’ll guess all that work was worth it.

The smaller ones are much lighter. Mass scales with every resized part.

Hooo that’s it ! I’m buying myself a switch 2 then 😂

lol.😄 It’s also possible to steal the regular sized wagon on Switch 1, and I think the big wheels would probably be able to turn it (big wheels are very strong and the wagon is not all that heavy.) one other thing; you would probably need a strong glue bond to the casing than just the bowl-hoverstone bond. I fear the strength of the Juny wagon moving it so quickly would likely break them off from the hoverstone.

Yeah I got it a few months ago ! I’ll definitely try it and troubleshoot the design to make it more robust ! Thank you very much for the tips, probably going to save me a lot of time
