Introduction: The Chainless Chainsaw
I was building the K'nexecutioner when I noticed I was short on the chainlinks. Then, I wondered, can I make a chain out of something OTHER than the chainlinks? Then this happened. No, it uses 0 chainlinks, but it's still functional. Cool looking, compact, and in need of opinions. The "Chain" is made of white rods, gray connectors, and red connectors for the blade.
This was made in 30 minutes. It is for the demonstration and function of what I have named the "Chainless Chain." To me, it looks a lot more like a minigun than a chainsaw, but again, only for the demonstration of the concept.
Pros
Small, and can be as long as you want it to be.
Uses no chains at all
Goes both forward and backward
Durable and a new concept of chains
Cons
Pathetically slow
Looks too wide?
Heavy
Looks like a minigun
Somewhat jammy, but it's my really weak motor.

It's not really "Chainless". You didn't use standard knex chain, you just made your own chain out of knex

Exactly! This is for people who don't really have enough chains, or have trouble working with them. I plan to make a machine gun out of it :D

Well calling it "Chainless" is still misnaming it.

I like oxymorons, so I named it "Chainless Chain". Chainless because it has no chainlinks and chain because it's a chain.
