I think gear blocks like that would be awesome. So long as they still
follow standard lego units, they probably convey a lot of advantages over
the standard gears. They can probably handle a boatload more torque, great
for robots, especially arms, etc. I don't think they'll replace the
standard gears, but they certainly could add functionality beyond what
standard gears alone have.
now, if only they'd make helical gears to quiet things down and eliminate
backlash.... :-)
