    I’m choosing to believe it’s the parents causing the lock-up in that image.

  • For those that don't get it

    The way the gears are arranged will result in a grid lock - you won’t be able to turn any of them.

    Rotating one clock-wise (CW) will rotate another counter-clock-wise (CCW), and the 3rd gear will spin CW. Because the first and 3rd gear are close enough to be in contact, and they’re both rotating CW, they are opposing each other resulting in them being locked

    Ie. none of this will work

  • Is there a way to arrange three gears in a way that won’t lock up (maybe in a line)

    • Making the 2 smaller ones not touch each other or one of the small ones not touching with the big one would do it
