@nicholas.seward: That's pretty much I was hoping for. I mean, obviously it's possible to tweak something as unclearly defined as the Simpson design until it can't macrocreate, but I was hoping that macrocreation would turn out to be the rule, rather than the exception.
I suppose once the Simpson design is semi-finalized, the thing to do would be start finding the breakpoints. For example, a Simpson past a certain size won't fit in a certain size box (therefore any larger Simpson will cost more money to ship). A Simpson past a certain size might require heavier motors, so that's another breakpoint. If you found the largest Simpson that could fit in the smallest (reasonable) box while still using the same vitamins as a larger Simpson, and then tweaked the geometry for maximum arm size, it'd be easier to ship off one of those and have people scale it up to their desired size, rather than shipping off a large-scale Simpson. You could even provide designs for 'max arm' Simpsons as opposed to normal manufacturing Simpsons, so someone who wanted a very large Simpson could take the shortest path and only make the last one standard.
