Re: Worm Gears

Worm gears were in the kit in 2004 with the drill motors. They had a few problems of binding and overheating the motors. I think that is why FIRST got away from them. They can be very good if there is very little friction.

I also recommend putting a fan on top of the motors to cool them down when running worm gears.
