Today in the modern world, gears are used in everyday activities, from cars to washing machines. There are various types of gears such as spur, internal, helical, skew, bevel, etc. Each of these gears has a different purpose, such as bevel gears are used to change the rotational motion to a different axis. Spur gears are used to this effect in washing machines, blenders, clothes dryers, construction equipment, fuel pumps, and mills. Lower gear ratios in the transmission and the back of the car allow for faster speed, but slower acceleration. Higher gear ratios in the transmission and the back of the car allow for slower faster speed but faster acceleration (Yoshino, 2014). Changing the gear ratio would affect how fast a car would go in with each ratio. The gear ratio of a gear train, also known as its speed ratio, is the ratio of the angular velocity of the input gear to the angular velocity of the output gear. The torque ratio of a gear system is also known as mechanical advantage, this is determined by its …show more content…
(Figure #2) The beam is the same through all trials so that the height is constant. All pieces should be attached using two black pins in such a way so that the car is that same and the weight is the same. Two axles were added to the motor. (Figure #6) The first axle should be attached from the red turning part of the motor. The second axle should be added from the beam to the wheel. (Figure #7) After that, the same steps are mirrored to the second motor. There are two motors being used to make the robot more stable. The gears should be put on the eleven-hole beam put on earlier, with two small blue pins. (Figure #16) The motor should be attached together on the chassis. (Figure #17) They should be connected with the chassis connection piece. (Figure #12 and Figure #13) Then, wires were connected from the EV3 to the motor. The EV3 was connected to the top of the motors. (Figure
