  • This motor shaft will make 3 rotations, in the same time the output shaft makes 5 Gears used: 20 tooth on motor, 12 tooth on output Gear Ratio: 3:5 Power: 3/5x motor Speed: 5/3x motor (faster)
  • This motor shaft will make 1 rotations, in the same time the output shaft makes 3 Gears used: 24 tooth on motor, 8 tooth on output Gear Ratio: 1:3 Power: 1/3x motor Speed: 3x motor (faster)

    great ideas for gear ratios

    very helpful gear ratio chart
  •  
    the bottom two charts are good. It does make it go considerably faster
  •  
    It looks like a smart idea for designing the wheels maybe it would be possible to adjust it and make it stronger
  •  
    This is probably the best for speed and power(torque). The robot would be front wheel drive based on that if the nxt is on the back with the wheels the robot would flip or slide down due to the weight on the downhill side of the robot not the uphill side(assuming the track is at 22.5 degress
  •  
    I agree wit Josh this is what we need for the project
  •  
    this has some good ideas

  • Compound Gearing You can decrease the speed of your robot and increase the amount of force it can produce by using gears. There is a video on Compound Gears in the gallery. Link- Video on Compound Gears.

      This picture with compound gearing might help

      thats the best ratio i could find for the tools we have
  •  
    this is good to show what gears to use

  •  
    This is like a calculator you insert the gear it gives you the ratio
  •  
    this is very useful in helping us decide which gears to use and what ratio to set them at
  •  
    This might be the key thing for gear ratios

      this is a good idea to get the most out of our gears

  • This is a simple dual worm gear drive. It turns two turntables using two worm gears spinning in the same direction at the same speed using one motor. It was really quite easy to build.

      this could be really helpful

    how to use a worm gear
  •  
    this will be helpfull

      could be really fun to build

      Great info
  •  
    gears and construction on how to get high speeds
  •  
    This wouldn't work going up hill at 22.5 degress, and how would we get the nxt brick and the rest of the body to move that fast??

  • First....What is torque?: Torque is a twisting force- (it doesn't do any 'work' itself- it is simple an application of energy). Work (or 'stuff') happens, when torque is applied and movement occurs.

      very helpful and useful
  •  
    The bottom of this page explains how to create differnent gear ratios and how they work
  •  
    they are using a diffrent program
  •  
    we could make the program in labview, they were just using a piece of wood on books.

    This is a good idea

    It is too big for the track
  •  
    shows how to make a big NXT dragster but has some stuff about gear ratios in it
  •  
    FITZGERALD, THIS IS A GOOD IDEA I THINK WE SHOULD USE IT

  • 10:30:40 = 1:4 9:27 = 1:3 10:20 = 1:2 10:13:20 = 1:2 Overall 1:48  
    • Anthony DiVirgilio
       
      useful for different configurations, good to know
  •  
    This shows us the torque of the motor. Yes we have 9 volt batterys, the bottom of the page next to a picture are some gear ratios.
  •  
    it shows how we can adjust the gear ratios to give the robot more or less power while driving

    it shows how you can make an nxt robot have a sweeping mechanism by adding a motor and a few gears

Rear wheel drive vs. front wheel drive. Which is better? - 8 views

  • fwd holds an advantage in slippery conditions such as ice or snow as more weight is over the drive wheels reducing slip during acceleration
    • Anthony DiVirgilio
       
      rear wheel drive only has advantages where steering is envloved
    • Bryan Kelleher
       
      AGREED, BUT ARE WE GOING FOR PURE STEERING? OR POWER?!
  •  
    this could be useful

    its really opinion but it does seem like a good idea to put it in the front
  •  
    This could be very helpful for gear changing
  •  
    these are real cars not NXTs
  •  
    thanks for pointing that out, i didnt want to say anything
  •  
    it doesn't matter the theory is sound

    sorta of a change in design than the last one i had thought was good
  • ...3 more comments...
  •  
    this looks like it wikll work
  •  
    this is a good idea but it would be hard to change the gears in a short amount of time
  •  
    this might be a possible solution but it might not have enough power to make it up the 22.5 degree incline.
  •  
    looks good
  •  
    Great pictures Tommy. We can use some of these ideas to build our robot

      this is the important chart from the website

    good for setting up our ratios
