Go to Post Reffing a FIRST event is unlike being an ump or a ref at any other event. Where else is a game invented each year and over 1000 teams play this game within 3 months of its birth? - Andy Baker [more]

Re: pic: Mobius Gear

I found out a few days ago that my neighbors updated their website......

http://www.protocam.com <---check out their mobius gear

They have been in the business much longer than I have (since 94) and they do high end prototyping.

The easy answer to making this model is to use an additive manufacturing process such as a 3d printer.

One rather interesting way to make this would be to find a really long "rack" (I'm referring to the rack in rack&pinion gears).

Take this "rack" and twist/bend it 180 degrees and connect the two ends.

You would still have to do many calculations to figure out the size needed for the pinion and center gears.
