PROBLEMS WITH LEGO GEARS •Two common problems that you might face: ¡ Gear Slip: Slippage is when the teeth skip on the gears when you apply power ¡ Gear Backlash: Backlash is space between the teeth where the gears mesh. When the space is too much, it is called slack/slop. When there is too little, you create too much friction. 10
