Up: [[ReMec projects]]

The idea here is to do some [[scale transposed prototyping]] of 
the mechanical analogs to analog electrical elements (and basic circuits). 

It seems this has lesser potential for macroscole co-use 
than some of the other of the [[ReMec projects]] like e.g. 
a concrete [[ReChain]] instance of the the [[ReChain frame systems]] sub-project. 

Mechanical quantities of force/torque and linear/angular speed 
being vectorial rather than scalar as in the electrical case 
makes sets of standard elements more challenging. 
★ It is a bigger design space for the mechanical analogs. 
★ It is an additional less or more achievable challenge 
… to factor directionality apart from core function 
… as is what would be a desired [[separation of concerns]].
