Prototype of my first MOC

[Ristaaf]

Hello!

I have been lurking about these forums for a while and decided to show my first MOC since coming back from my dark ages (about 20 of them).

I got really interested in Technic Lego again when I realized that it had been reinvented (studless) and I quickly bought a couple of small sets just to get some pieces and try myself. After also having bought the excavator 8069 and the super car 8070 I came up with the idea to create a gearbox with 1 input driven by the Medium motor from the 8070 set and four outputs that can spin in both directions and then use this gearbox to control an excavator.

Now one month after getting the idea I have prototyped it but only with three outputs so far. Next step is to see if I can engineer the whole thing in a better way, and also adding a fourth output controlling rotation via a turntable.

Once I am a bit more proud of the actual solution I will post more images.

@ Ristaaf: Welcome to Eurobricks! Your Excavator is going to be fairly large to support an arm that size! I'm looking forward to additional photos. Since all Eurobricks members only get an allotment of 150k for "Attachments", your future pictures should be uploaded to a image server (like Brickshelf or Flickr).
