Dave Ware's Scrambler Ride

See a video of this model (2.5M)

Dave Ware writes:

This model was copied from a popular amusement park ride called the scrambler. Here is a view of a real one.

This is my version of the ride.

The motor is mounted sideways under the base and is direct drive. Each arm is rubber band driven from a fixed pulley and its rotation is the result of the rotation of the whole assembly. The assembly rides on top of the fixed pulleys on a TB/TC ball bearing system.
