Re: Gearbox -physics related question

Yes your right in theory, the lighter the rotating object is the less energy is used to spin it (in this case) making the whole system more efficient. What I am asking you to do now is to put the principle in practice I think you'll find that in a application for FIRST where components are generally light (not a steel vs. alumnium flywheel) you will see only a slight diffrence in proformance but a difference none the less. Good ideas really everything you've said has a viable point.
