Get in gear

The get in gear investigation was about the driven and driving gears. Both the driven and driving gear do something that can change alot on the robot. If the driving gear was bigger than your driven gear then the robot would travel faster because the rotation of the driving gear once would cause the driven gear to rotate multiple times due to each turn being. For example, 8 teeth and 2 teeth on the other so that each time 8 teeth turned around completly, 2 teeth turned around 4 whole times. Another thing is if the driven gear was bigger than your driving gear then the power in the wheels would be stronger though causing the wheels to be slower and shorter distance traveled if using a rotation sensor because every 4 turns of a 2 teath would cause only one wheel turn if the driven wheel was a 8 tooth gear.
