Day 7 Reflection

If you want to design a robot to climb a hill, should the drive gear be bigger than, smaller than or the same size as the follower gear? Why?

  1. you should drive the gear smaller than so it will go faster and have more power.

  2. It should be a small gear and a large gear.

  3. Smaller tan to increase the power of the robot. If the follower gear is bigger it will contain more teeth than the drive gear which makes the robot slower but stronger

  5. I do not no but I think it should the small size.

  6. The key is gears OK all you need for it put the smaller gear on engine then the bigger it dont matter whats in the middle. You follow the gear process of doing that to you ev3 or your nxt it helps a lot and makes a huge difference

  7. Your drive gear would be smaller because you want power if your climbing a hill instead of speed.

  8. The drive gear has to be smaller than the other gear because the smaller one will take more rotations to move the bigger one and that will be built for power.

  9. it should be smaller the power is stronger and will be able to get up the hill

  10. The driving gear would be smaller than the follower gear because when a smaller gear drives a larger gear it increases torque or power.

  11. The drive gear should be smaller than the follower gear because you want more power.

  12. It should be smaller than the other gears because you are going to need power and the smaller gear has to rotate the bigger gears more to get more power.

  13. You want the smaller than because that gives you power but if you gear larger it will give you speed. To climb a hill it would be better to have power other than speed because you won't have enough power to get up the hill without power, so smaller than

  14. Smaller than by this there would be more speed and power in less rotations causing the robot to go up the hill with ease.

  15. If you want to design a robot to climb a hill the driving gear should be smaller than the following gear because you want to gear down making the robot powerful enough to climb the actual hill

  16. Smaller than because the smaller gear has more rotations to the bigger gear

  17. Smaller so it can get there faster

  18. smaller to get there faster

  19. smaller than cause fast speed

  20. It should be smaller so the drive gear should be small and on the motor and the next gear should be bigger and on the wheel so the robot is stronger not faster.

  21. that with a smaller gear it make the rtotation faster tpo make the wheel fast

  22. smaller than the driving gear because the small to big ratio is geared for power.

  23. To climb a hill the robot must be strong but not fast, so the bigger gear should be on the wheel and the smaller gear on the motor. So the drive gear should be smaller than the following gear

  24. Smaller because the small gear will spin more allowing the other gear to have more power to climb a hill.

  25. The smaller wheel will be attached to the motor and the bigger wheel will be attached to the robot. This will give the robot more power to move instead of speed.

  26. You would need smaller gear because you would have to have more power in order to go up the hill.

  27. the smaller one because it has more power

  28. Smaller than for torque.

  29. Today's lesson involved the usage of gears. We saw the reason for the drive gear (the gear connected to the motor) being bigger, smaller, or the same size as the follower gear (the gear connected to the actual wheel). For example, if you want a strong robot, such as one that can move up a hill, you would want torque gears. The drive gear should be smaller than the follower gear. This will make it slower, but give it more torque.

  30. the smaller one because it gave it more power.

  31. Smaller because if you use more power the bot will flip backwards and you want to balance the power.

  32. If I wanted to design a robot to climb a hill, I would make the drive gear be smaller than the follower gear because it will have more power to be on the hill and won't fall and break.

  33. You would want to make the driver gear smaller to climb a hill because you would want power.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I say smaller because the smaller the gear is the fast it go and the biger the gear is the slower is goes

    ReplyDelete
  35. The gear you would use is smaller to bigger gear because it has mor power making you able to climb up a mountain

  36. Smaller than because it will make the bot get to the top while the big one pushes it up
