 :bow: amazing work!

Forgive my ignorance but why is the harmonic drive neccessary? Is it just a simple case of the steps are too large without it?
CallMeAl:
Very impressive work! :clap:  I would be even more impressed if I know what it was. :scratch:

Woah, what a neat project. I had never heard of a harmonic drive until this post but after looking it up on wikepedia I'm impressed by such a simple device that does such a good job.

100:1 gearing and no backlash means you can get fantastic control and holding torque from a tiny stepper/servo.

Very impressed!
