K'nex Counter

K\
Hey guys, so here is the project I've been working on for the past three months. 

This is a counter that counts up to 99. It has two ten spoked wheels, that have the numbers 1-9 on them.  So when the first wheel get's up to 9, the next movement turns the second wheel to 1 and the first wheel to 0. It keeps doing this pattern all the way until both wheels get back to 0-0.  

The first thing I had to figure out when I was building this was how to get a wheel with 10 spokes.  That actually came pretty easy. (But they are kind of hard to put together).

The second thing I had to figure out was how to get the whole mech working. That it's self took a good month and a half.  The rest of the time was spent figuring out the face plate and finishing it up.

So, it might be a month or so after school started, but I hope you all like it.
Now let's hear some feedback.

Wow I haven't seen you hear in a long time. Nice to know you are still here. Great idea, although if it was a little more compact that would be nice. But that will not deteriorate from my overall opinion as it is very cool.
Sep 28, 2010. 3:28 PMshadowninja31 says:
Okay.
Sep 26, 2010. 7:21 AMTheDunkis says:
Video? It's one of those pointless kind of things that becomes impressive when you have to build it yourself. I'd still like something that's impressive as well as useful. Still, no one has tried out my piece dispenser idea.
