Re: CADing Gears

FIRST Team 1296 borrowed a technique from the robo-wranglers. We make exotic-shaped aluminum gears from sheet metal and rivet them together to get the desired width. They would not last long enough in an industrial setting but on a FIRST robot, they are good enough. It works for us since we have an awesome sheet metal company as a sponsor.
