Power Transmission

Power transmission is how you get motion and force from a motor to wherever it needs to go on the robot. Motors spin. Your mechanism probably needs something other than "spin in place." Gears, belts, chain, and shafts are the tools that bridge that gap.

If you don't understand this section, the rest of the mechanism pages won't make much sense. This is foundational for everyone on the mechanical subteam.
