Interesting point about the rubber bands vs the resultant torque loss, it is true that the opposing forces on the gears along with the "rubber pull" will tender them to one direction or another in concert... However,...and I say this kindly and (...) (24 years ago, 3-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)

The closest thing to an anti-backlash gear is the Conical gear (a misnomer). It can be used to load a gear train. I have used this in a design by Iain Hendry. (URL) have tried using a second motor in the gear train with a slight reverse current. (...) (24 years ago, 3-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)
