Lesson 5: Designing with Gears
In the final lesson of this unit, students will retrieve a 3d printed "load" using their GoPiGo and their design skills.
2. Investigate Gear Train
The first gear set that we will explore is a basic gear train. A gear train is designed by mounting gears on a frame so that the teeth of the gears are aligned. The gears then roll together providing a smooth rotation of both gears. The gear doing the pushing is called the drive gear and the gear that is being pushed is the driven gear.
