== Pulleys == | |||
<br> | |||
This is an assembly kit that allows to work with pulley/thread constructions in a flexible way. <br> | |||
It works best with flat and smooth surfaces and it can be used in vertical and horizontal constructions<br> (such as logical operations, see Rachel Smith's and + or gates).<br> | |||
The parts:<br> | |||
1) 3D printed pulley wheels <br> | |||
2) metal ball bearings <br> | |||
3) plastic suction pads and <br> | |||
4) thread. | |||
