Tops and Top Spinners

Bville FLL
March 20, 2002


We will try to be on RED ROVER each Wednesday from 3:30 to 4:15 Eastern time at 168.216.109.27 (Check http://netapps.marshall.edu/lego/ip/ for updates.)

To speed up the tops take gearing up.  Large gear on the motor and small follower gears makes the speed faster.  A gear train with a large gear driving a small gear that is on the same axle as a large gear that drives a small gear that is on the same axle as a large gear is a faster yet.

Program has a beep when to lift up.


A 3 to 1 or better gear ratio, and stability help.
See some examples on Gear UP page.
