Gear Teeth Clearance

So my team is building a gear system and we had to make the solidworks for the individual gears ourselves. What should be a clearance between each tooth for the robot to function? The gears are small, 1.5 inch to 0.75 inch. Can we get away with 0.017" of clearance after running them for a while so they set oooor nooo...?
