 The teams who have the best chance at success are the ones who know where they can save time and money on machining by using or using part of some premade equivalent.

Re: Fun With Gears
You might think a little bit before laughing at some one else so quickly.
There is a very nice and effective use for gears in this configuration. It was used by at least one team this year, and I can almost guarantee that you saw it in action. Remember: he who laughs last.... -dave . |

Re: Fun With Gears

If those gears lie in the same plane, and are of the same thickness, what use would they be other than as a rather dramatic brake? If they moved independently in the Z-axis or were different thicknesses, I can think of some interesting uses, but as drawn, I'm stumped. |

Re: Fun With Gears
I believe that lavery is suggesting that they not all be on the same plane. For instance, if Gear 2 was 1" thick and Gears 1 and 3 were 1/4" thick and Gear 1 was not on the same plane as Gear 3 but both touched Gear 2, Then you would be directly transferring energy from Gear 1 to Gear 3. Make sense?
