Re: Team 4499's first Homemade Gear!

You know what really cuts my gears? Those Highlander guys!

Looks nice, I would suggest making gear stock and cutting pieces off of it as it is likely to be more time efficient. Also use 7075 if you are going to be putting it on a robot, the cost is worth it. If you are not already aware, 7075 has nearly the same structural properties as 1018 steel but the same softness as aluminum. nice and strong but will wear much quicker.
