Get in gear investigation

1. what happens if you made your driving gear bigger and driven gear smaller?

If the driving gear is bigger and driven gear is smaller, the robot's speed would be increased. When the driving gear rotates in certain time, the driven gear also rotates. however the driven gear will rotates more due to the size of the gears which is related to the number of teeth.

2. What would hapen if you made your driven gear bigger and your driving gear smaller?

In opposite, when the driven gear is bigger and the driving gear is smaller, the robot's speed would be decreased due to number of teeth's difference. Therefore, the driven gear will rotates less while the driving gear rotates in certain time.

Good job ! However, I think you should include a picture to illustrate. Maybe you can talk about torque as well.
