Spur gear center distance: when the right ratio still fails to mesh
A prescribed gear ratio can hide overlap or missed tooth engagement. Check how shaft spacing changes a fixed involute pair before trusting its animation.

A finite Scotch-yoke pin needs room around its whole rim. A measured Blender study shows how rounded ends and sideways offset change the slot-length requirement.
A measured Blender four-bar study separates full crank rotation, missing assembly angles and a change point where two branches meet.
A measured Blender comparison of equal 40 mm strokes shows why a slider-crank and Scotch yoke offer different near-end windows at constant crank speed.
At a 40 mm transport height, the modeled gripper cleared the sampled path while its cube penetrated the bin. Five Blender runs show why payload geometry changes the height check.
A 120 mm bin admitted the modeled closed gripper but blocked opening before release. Four Blender bin widths show why descent, opening, and withdrawal need separate checks.
A wider gripper opening cleared more sampled approaches in Blender, but an off-center cube still reached one pad first. The 20-condition comparison separates aperture from alignment.
A three-layout Blender study separated camera occlusion from gripper approach clearance: 100 mm of clearance still left all 25 sampled sightlines blocked.
OK-Robot’s modular pick-and-drop design makes the first failed handoff visible: retrieval, navigation, grasp proposal, execution or drop. Log the boundary before replacing a model.
HoMeR uses absolute 3D keyposes for long reaches and relative action deltas for fine contact. Label the phase handoff and distinguish policy errors from whole-body execution.
