Gear Types

Well, I was just looking at 968's robot. I was trying hard to keep my jaw off the floor and then I saw their gearboxes. Those are beautiful. I did notice that the gear on their CIM and the gear on the first reduction were different then what I'm used to. They gears were on like a 30* Ang to the gear. It was weird. Heres the link to the picture,

Look at the third picture to see what I mean.

Now is there an advantage to doing that, or do they just do it because it looks cool?
