Week 4

This week we measured out the dimensions of the transmission support structure, and decided the size of the gears we are going to use. Found a website that helps find the pitch of the of the gears http://www.gizmology.net/gears. Found out how to connect the Lego input to our gear shaft. The images below show the different gear alignments for each gear from 1-4. The last image shows some of the calculations that were done and the dimensions of the gears that will be used.
