Hinge/Piston Angle:Length Compensator

2,002 AppreciateJake  8.6 years ago

A little project I needed to create a sub-assembly that moved a single block anywhere within a certain radius without changing its elevation. My previous attempts led to extreme sagginess or fragility in the pistons, hence why there is a 4x4 grid of them.

You don't have to credit me if you use them, but it'd be greatly appreciated (ayeee ;D). Enjoy!

    @UnknownNate When something moves on a hinge, it rotates around an axis. With pistons, I stopped that. Just look at the blocks in front of the black and yellow board.
