Re: Gear Types

I think the resolution of the picture is what is making the gears look odd. Once the gear tooth size is on the same order of magnitude as the image's pixel size, the image gets a bit distorted.

Now, helical gears obviously exist, and there are probably more than a few FIRST teams that have used them. However, team 968 is not one of them...
