During our investigation about Gears, we knew physically that the robot would not be able to run fast if the driven gear is faster than the driving gear. For the robot to be fast, the robot would have to have a smaller gear in the driven area and the driving gear would have to be larger in comparison. Throughout our investigation, we have actually did the ratios, using the 16:16 Ratio (1:1), 16:8 (2:1), and the 24:1 (3:1). Out of those 3, the 3:1 ratio was actually the most fastest, but sadly we didn't have enough time to add the 40:8 ratio since the sizes would not have fit.

I like the details of the process and what you've done during the investigation. ^^
Later, why don't you race them against each other?
Glad you come to the same conclusion as I did. Therefore, the driven gear must be smaller than the driving gear in order for the robot to be fast. Do note there is a little typo in there the ratio should be 24:8 and not 24:1.
uh you explained the second part, but can you explain the first part some? kinda doesnt have that
