Hexonic swivels - The hexonic swivel has one cone shaped hub made from |
. | ||||||
| six (IT) isosceles triangles (colored green below) and one flat, hexagonal | |||||||
| shaped hub made from six (ST) small triangles (colored yellow below). These | |||||||
| hubs are joined together by six (RT) right triangles (colored purple below). Two | |||||||
| of these swivels can be used together to act like a joint for arms or legs like the | |||||||
| examples shown here which use a central hexagonal drum for the body. | |||||||
