Repeat after me: "gears are not weight bearing elements" This is one of my pet peeves, seeing gears supporting the weight of the robot on a rack. This is how its done: http://unite.com.au/~u11235a/lego/plotter/xrack.jpg Dave used wheels which is okay too: http://peach.mie.utoronto.ca/events/lego/lego-022302-dave8.jpg Or if you are really clever you can copy Iain like Chris did: http://peach.mie.utoronto.ca/events/lego/lego-022302-chris8.jpg But notice none of them support the weight with gears. Give those gears room to breathe! Rob
