What is the strongest gear assebly? Using mostly RIS 1.5 pieces, but
some extras, I need to design a gear box that has enough strength to
lift the contraptions own weight. What is the strongest possible settup

almost a full foot, and still contiue to move forward or back, left,

holes) hooked up in an x/crisscross pattern. when the top two are
squeezed, it pushes the lower ones out, efetivly sending the robot up
into the air and above any obsticles in front of it.
