haha I was considering splitting one rotor thinner and placing them on each side of the thick rotors too! how did you find this method? any improvements on vibration?

  Are you sure? yes | no

It is so much better, less twist.  Check out the YouTube video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pizl7i-uB68

Hey Paul, I am currently creating a robotic arm for a design competition at my university and was wondering where you found the information on the design of the cycloidal gears?  Additionally would it be possible to upload the assembly so that I could open it in solidworks? currently it is just a 3D object file which doesn't allow me to dissemble it at all.

  Are you sure? yes | no

I'm using Autodesk inventor. What is a good format to used between this and your solidworks? Is step ok?

  Are you sure? yes | no
