Re: Worm Gear Gearbox

a little off, but for lego, wormgear 24:1 reductions work very well, for lego robots i mean. not too slow, yet (well since lego isnt efficient whatsoever,) efficient (make sure you wupport both axles from both directions, and since lego axles are plastic, support them as close to the gears as possible.
well, yea. worm gear gear boxes (wormgearboxes?) as an idea are very applicable ithink. except as with designing any kind of gearbox, will have difficult parts but if it works well, great!

...and yea, im understanding why my english teachers rarely give me any good grades on my essays.
