Re: Meshing Gears

So would a system of meshing the gears like that (rounding them as well) work alright for a transmission where the robot has to stop first, then shift? Any problems with that? What if the gears happen to have their teeth aligned so when you try to push the gear in, one of the teeth hit each other directly on the side? That's where the rounded teeth come in handy?
