| Can't agree with you here Jennifer. I mean, isn't this half the fun of technic building? Working out gear ratio's, how to fit them in your model, changing, compromising.... If you'd write a program like that, link it to some CAD application, and if (...) (24 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics)

| (...) Well, I think this is something you could divide into two parts: STEP 1: Find all combination of gears that'll produce a gear ratio within some user-specified range using less than some specified number of gear wheels. That's a simple problem (...) (24 years ago, 8-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics)

| (...) You have a good point there, and like yourself, part of me is in agreement. Even with that, I think perhaps one of the most interesting things about a program like this would be seeing if it came up with anything unusual or non-obvious that (...) (24 years ago, 8-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics)
