Actually the gears cannot rotate as they are meshed with each other. This
causes them not only to support the screw, but act as a nut creating linear
motion for the slide.
I am not sure how well the studless beams will work for my interests. When a
cutter hits the material it is cutting, Lego reminds me that it is a toy.
The studs do make rigid structures possible. I hope to gain some new
experience when the NXT comes out in the Fall. I will surely have to change
my thinking.
