You make me blush. Except maybe a 75:1 reduction would work too. Better to leave the gearbox on the motor and then a 3:1 or 4:1 reduction after it. But probably won't self-right easily.

I remember Gary's friction driven hammer, Ball Peen. It actually appeared on Neighbours, so maybe you guys saw it before too. The hammer worked pretty well but I don't remember ever seeing it self right. The friction drive didn't slip but not quite enough torque to lift its huge chassis. He replaced it with a new axe robot called Fragmentor which had a scooter motor that spun the axe through 360 degrees and tended to weld its weapon relay shut. It inspired me to build Avenger after seeing how crazy it was. Damn, that was a long time ago.
