You can combine two of these swivels by pinging them together by their |
||||||||
|
perimeter rims only (i.e. with six to twelve pinges). |

These pinges, as well as others used in the swivel, act as bearings that allow |
. | |||||||
|
the moveable parts to swivel freely. Note that the triangular shaped pivots of |
. | |||||||
|
the leftmost swivel are tapered to make it look more hip like when a leg is |
. | |||||||
| . | ||||||||
|
attached to the face of its blue colored hub. Note also that the pivots of one |
||||||||
|
swivel are not pinged to the pivots of the other swivel but are staggered |
||||||||
|
relative to each other. This permits the hubs of the swivels to rotate in the |
||||||||
|
opposite direction to each other. That way the body can be attached to the |
||||||||
|
hub of the red swivel and the leg can be attached to the hub of the blue |
||||||||
|
swivel so that the leg can rotate back and forth. As you can see in the images |
||||||||
|
in the right and left hand corners below, Gizmo uses two, 2-section small |
||||||||
| sqocta swivel assemblies - one for each of his legs. ("Go Gizmo! Go!") | ||||||||
