gear meshing

I know in the transmission design we are thinking about, the edges of the gears are beveled to help them mesh with each other. This little step probably helps a lot and even if it did not, the gears are still steel and therefore pretty durable. However, if you are concerned about the gears stripping, you could just have your operators stop the robot before shifting, it really does not take that much time.
