Eric,

I thought these numbers would be useful for the rotation of pieces during
the droideka's "unfolding".  They're not true angle measurements, but may
actually be off by 90 or 180 degrees, or be 180-n or 90-n, etc.  Left-right
symmetry is assumed.  Since these measurements were eyeballed, some fudging
is also assumed.  ;-)

I got these numbers by measuring the angles on photographs, using
Intergraph's Imagination Engineer LE.  I can throw an IGR file you way, if
you think it would help.  JPEGs of the model are also available.

Parts list:

DDEKA    = DDEKA_00, adjusted for angle
DDEKA_00 = abdomen, connects to left and right legs, waist
DDEKA_01 = left-hand leg, connects to abdomen
DDEKA_02 = right-hand leg, connects to abdomen
DDEKA_03 = waist, connects to abdomen, rear leg, spine
DDEKA_04 = rear leg, connects to waist
DDEKA_05 = spine, connects to waist and chest, has car-door pieces
DDEKA_06 = chest, connects to spine and neck and shoulders
DDEKA_07 = left-hand shoulder, connects to chest and left arm
DDEKA_08 = left-hand arm, connects to left shoulder and left gun
DDEKA_09 = left-hand gun, connects to left arm
DDEKA_10 = right-hand shoulder, connects to chest and right arm
DDEKA_11 = right-hand arm, connects to right shoulder and right gun
DDEKA_12 = right-hand gun, connects to right arm
DDEKA_13 = neck, connects to chest and hear
DDEKA_14 = old head (not used)
DDEKA_15 = head, connects to neck

Droideka Standing, angles between:

Body
DDEKA_00 and DDEKA_03 = 17 degrees
DDEKA_03 and DDEKA_05 = 68 degrees
DDEKA_05 and DDEKA_06 = 41 degrees
DDEKA_06 and DDEKA_13 = 37 degrees
DDEKA_13 and DDEKA_15 = 39 degrees

Legs
DDEKA_00 and DDEKA_01 = 35 degrees
DDEKA_03 and DDEKA_04 = 103 degrees

Arms
DDEKA_06 and DDEKA_07 = 26 degrees
DDEKA_07 and DDEKA_08 = 26 degrees
DDEKA_08 and DDEKA_09 = 109 degrees

Droideka Rolling, angles between:

Body
DDEKA_00 and DDEKA_03 = 63 degrees
DDEKA_03 and DDEKA_05 = 89 degrees
DDEKA_05 and DDEKA_06 = 66 degrees
DDEKA_06 and DDEKA_13 = 29 degrees
DDEKA_13 and DDEKA_15 = 46 degrees

Legs
DDEKA_00 and DDEKA_01 = 180 degrees
DDEKA_03 and DDEKA_04 = 54 degrees

Arms
DDEKA_06 and DDEKA_07 = 2 degrees
DDEKA_07 and DDEKA_08 = 41 degrees
DDEKA_08 and DDEKA_09 = 180 degrees

...Let me know hat else you need!  :-,

 by looking at him...that he's got some PRETTY HEAVY THINGS ON HIS MIND.
