Re: pic: VEX High Reduction Gearbox

This is something goofy I made which is inspired by the concept of a millennium clock. I've made plenty of things which spin really fast, but I've never made something which spins VERY slow; I think this qualifies.

I use it as a lesson for Robowrangler students. I ask them to calculate some things as a way of proving they learned their gear theory.

I thought maybe someone here would think it is cool.
