Borg-Hive is a truncated-icosahedron.
The nucleus is a power module inside a
pentagonal-dodecahedron which has LEDs to
indicate the state of Nv's on the hextiles.
These hextiles are SM1 boards which were
modified to become Tricores. |

Many possible connections between tiles.
Presently the flow is from North to South
thru the tiles and then from South to North
thru the black jumper wires. |

Shok-Borg is the first borg that I built.
The hexagon tiles are BC2's , around the equator are 4 - BC3's.
The poles, North and South, each have 4 Nu's.
When activated by tactile switches, the Nu's vary the rate at
which the BC3's shok-step the BC2's.
Basically...an 8 motor, variable rate, shok-stepper.

Cube-Octahedron(VE).
Tiles are suspended tri-cores.
Connections across the tiles are bi-cores.
Only the tiles that are inscribed within
the faces of an Octahedron were used. |

Icosahedron
Tiles are suspended tri-cores.
Connections across the tiles are bi-cores.
Again only the tiles that are inscribed
within the faces of an Octahedron were used. |

This was my breadboard for the previous two
Nv geodesics. 22 pins on each tile, 8 tiles,
176 machined pins total. |

The Tetrahedrons live with Mark Tilden. |
