What's the difference between normal gear and hybrid gears?

@N0ah

really good explanation here, including gifs, which are much better than words in this case.

For a split second I thought you are referring to this gif

@Art_Dutra_IV

Another example of lower power VEX GO / IQ robots being more fault tolerant are the fact that we can make universal Hybrid Gears work at the GO / IQ scale.

Hybrid Gears are a combination spur gear and bevel gear that we first released in the new VEX GO kits. What makes these unique, is that you can mesh any size Hybrid Gear with any other Hybrid Gear in both spur and bevel use cases.

But, yes, @Sidoti did a great job explaining hybrid gears!
