We found out the hard way losing in the Hawaii regional this year.
Our 14T aluminum hex gear and another of our aluminum VEXPro gear lost teeth in one of our trans. Could not swap out the trans in time for the next semis match.
In the past we always used steel and could see noticeable wear after running our robot for a lot of practice and real matches.
I guess with the aluminum ones, they just break teeth. :/
