Re: Wooden gears.
In 2012 our team designed gears that we cut with our laser cutter. They were acrylic an plywood stacks of .25 thick material. We did this for our custom gearboxes for the shooter. We even ended up creating a cad model that would automatically generate gears by just inputting a size and a ratio. This made it really easy to try different speed and torques without having to use pulleys as we have issues with polycord. This year we also used all inhouse laser cut acrylic timing pulleys for our gearboxes and we have not had any problems with it. I can post pics if you guys want
