 While [a college FIRST competition] would be pretty fun, I think that you'll see this build season that mentoring is a heck of a lot of fun too. (except when the kids pretend to cut their fingers off to see your reaction) - Beth Sweet [more] |

Re: Designing a Planetary Wheel (Almost)
The main benefit is lots of reduction in a relatively small space while keeping the output shaft on the same axis as the input. Take for example the globe motor. Do you have any idea how large of a reduction is in that tiny planetary gearhead? Something like 115:1. Try to do that with spurs in that amount of space.
