(...) The problem is that you would need a mold for each unique part that is cut. If the number of rotations/divided by the length does not give you length that is repeatable using quarter turns you need more than one mold. This is *not* good (very (...)

(...) I'm not sure I agree with that. It seems to me that if you made these worms from one great long string, all you need to do is cut them wherever you want a new one. The helii (is that a word?) would still line up. I don't see why they couldn't (...) (22 years ago, 10-Oct-03, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) If you look at the 1x4 rack (or any of the other sizes, for that matter) you'll see that actually there is more slop available than you'd think. The gears mesh with them fine, The worm gear similarly could have been stretched just a tiny bit, (...) (22 years ago, 10-Oct-03, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) The end of the helix on one worm gear lines up exactly with the start of the helix on a second worm gear. If the gears were a quarter stud longer, they wouldn't have this useful property unless Lego also changed the pitch of the helix. (...) (22 years ago, 10-Oct-03, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Yes, it seems rather odd. It really wouldn't have affected the design of the gear at all. Just extend the spiral another fraction of an inch. Simple, really. If it's right that they're about 1/4 or 1/8 stud short, you ought to be able to line (...) (22 years ago, 9-Oct-03, to lugnet.robotics)
