Re: helical gears
One thing we found to be a problem with spur gears is that there is some "flex" between them. What I mean by this is that if you push another robot the gears seems to have a flexing/twisting/stretching action. We had this occur while trying a new drivetrain using just atwoods at river rage. To solve this effect we knocked the ratio down using a worm gear. With the worm gear we had immediate power and it actually simplified our drivetrain. We would have liked to use a planetary set but we didnt have the resourses this season to get/make some.
