When reading about vex cartridges and how they gear down with planetary gear sets, I noticed that in a thread, someone said that the 600 RPM Cartridges have one less planetary stage. Would I be correct to assume that 600RPM Cartridges have less friction than a 200RPM or 100RPM Cartridge, and therefore they also have more output power (output power doing different things, obviously the 600’s would have less torque than 200’s). Side tangent, what is the gearing efficiency of Vex high strength plastic gears? I’ve head for normal spur gears, such as ones used on cars it can be up to 97% efficient, but this is with all of the friction reduction techniques that are in a car’s transmission.
Thanks in advance!
