How to build a simple robotic arm from Lego Mindstorms NXT?

Step 3Building the "tilt module"

Building the \"tilt module\"
The second module is the "tilt module". It's placed on the top of the "rotation module". Basically, we have a large gear (which doesn't turn) and a small gear which is driving around the big one. The gear ration is 1:10. That way, the arm can be more precise.

On top of this module there is a small platform, to which the claw is attached, but more about the claw later!

Attaching the two modules together couldn't be simpler. They are held together by a single shaft/axle, around which the "tilt module" spins. The arm can tilt for nearly 90 degrees, that's a lot!
