The 
Advanced Rotor is one of the Mechanical Blocks in Space Engineers that can rotate. It conveys power and works just like the rotor, but can additionally feed items through its conveyor system.
Currently, the advanced rotor has the same component requirements to build as the basic rotor, making it a more practical choice for most applications. However, the small-grid advanced rotor takes 3x3x2 small blocks of space, compared to the 1x1x2 small blocks a basic small-grid rotor would take.
For construction and usage details, including docking, see Rotor.
Base Offset[]
The base offset of a large advanced rotor is 0.199789 metres. To make it flush with the block grid, set the offset to -0.1998 metres.
The base offset of a small advanced rotor is 0.047985 metres. To make it flush with the block grid, set the offset to -0.003 metres.
The base offset of a small advanced 3x3 rotor is 0.0 metres. Offset default 11 cm.
