On a brighter note, Bevel gears and delrin bearings!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (wait, those are just bearing retainers, Oh well those are good too.)
I think one smaller gear than the 40 tooth would be nice. As well I've had to many points where I just need one gear that is the size of like one hole or instead of 1.5 or whatever the 40 tooth actually is again (been a while since I designed in FTC )
