Re: paper: WCP/VexPro Gear Calculator

This is a cool calculator. It would be neat to see it integrated with JVN's design calculator to figure out gear reductions as you plan your drive/mechanisms.

This WCP gear calculator has the same mistake.

Out of curiosity, how exactly do these gears work? How does the PD remain the same with fewer teeth?
