Gear usage question

[techtiger1]

Hey guys about the gears it is perfectly acceptable to make you own gears or bring replacement parts for competition as long as they don't deviate from the original design and there under 25 lbs. Making the gears may not take as long as ordering the gears however in order to make gears you need access to a laser, EDM or the correct gear tooth cutting tool. The gear tooth cutting tool depends on the involute or pressure angle of the gears and a few other things. I will be happy to answer any further questions but if you don't have the correct gear tooth cutter or access to the above named machines your probablly better off just ordering them at this point.
