Suppose I have 5 LEGO gears teeth things (⚙️) and I want to make them spin pretty fast. Will just taking a motor and strapping a LEGO gear make it go faster, or will putting it so the teeth will touch each other make it faster?
Yes, ALL THE GEARS
I live a Minimalist Life and prefer less teeth

ok, so before you say I reuploaded the discussion, that’s technically true, but I thought the discussion would show up as an explaination. K, So this problem is similar to riding a mountain bike, or any bike with gears. You’re in first gear and it’s not too fast so you switch to second. It’s a bit faster. Same concept.
