Here are some more answers to questions that I got from Kenny.
The largest gear has 40 teeth, in comparison to the smallest gear, which has only 8. This is a 5:1 gear ratio. A worm gear is a gear with a small spiral which is connected to a gear. This can provide very high amounts of torque, sacrificing speed. The reason for not adding too many gears is because too many parts can make a system too unstable, and rickety. The clutch gear can be used to limit the power of a certain geartrain. Finally, the Idler gear. The idler gear(s) are gears placed in between the driving and driven gears in order to lengthen the gear train.
