Jupiter & Spindle
Spindle
Hey Jupiter, I was thinking about how the spiral patterns of galaxies could inform a new design for modular robots, blending symmetry and efficiency. What do you think?
Jupiter
That’s a brilliant idea—galaxies have been spiraling through space for billions of years, so their geometry must be a gold mine for efficiency. If you mimic the self‑similar arms, each module could copy the same motion pattern, reducing the number of unique parts. Just make sure the modular joints can handle the torque, and you’ll have a robot that looks like a mini‑Milky Way. Keep tweaking the pitch, and you’ll find a sweet spot between elegance and function. Nice thinking!

That’s a neat line of thinking, Jupiter, and I’m already sketching out the pitch ratios—maybe a golden spiral? The key will be keeping the joints tight and the modules identical so the symmetry stays pure. I’ll calculate the torque limits next and see how many turns the system can handle before the arms start wobbling. Thanks for the spark; I’ll keep the pattern tight and the elegance flowing.
Jupiter
Sounds solid—golden spirals give that natural flow. Tight joints will keep the symmetry. Good luck with the torque checks; once you nail the math, you’ll have a robot that’s both efficient and pretty. Keep me posted on how it goes.
