Troubles with Imaginary Gears

So the issues we had with the gears was not only a matter of spacing, but also a matter of the program not being precise enough. While imaginary gears are possible to make, the ones that we were using from Gearotic do not actually work when cut from plexi-glass. So in order to still use the organic gears we decided to tether them to working gears behind them.

 

In order to allow the secondary tether to move, a track needs to be cut. This means that we cannot use full rotation servos, as they will not be able to complete a full turn.
