module 2 of 12
Motors spin too fast and too weak to use directly. This module covers how to convert that speed into useful torque with gears, chain, belts, and sprockets, and how to calculate ratios.
Power Transmission and Gear Ratios is module 2 of 12 in the Mechanical, Build & Pneumatics guide. It picks up where Drivetrains: Moving the Robot left off and hands over to Structure, Materials, and Fasteners. Its 4 lessons are about 140 minutes of the guide's ~21 hours.
