(...) The main challenge with this is that the light sensor is passive only. (i.e. there is no red led to create the reflected light.) You can, however, use the IR transmit to bound some light down towards it and cause the same effect. If you need (...) (26 years ago, 29-Jun-00, to lugnet.robotics.scout)

The others have mentioned the white gear is a clutch gear. I thought I'd throw out a practical use to put it into perspective: it's ideal for a motorized gripper, where you'd want the grip to have some resistance as it closes, but not so much torque (...)

(...) The white gears are a slip gear. To explain it put one on a motor and make it spin. Now grab on to it and it will stop and turn inside. You will notice that there is still a little tension on the gear. It's great for low torque projects where (...) (26 years ago, 12-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.scout)
