2:09 The rubber band needs at least a greater pullback force than all of the friction the mechanics of the steering, right? Then this would work less good with thicker wheels.
Nice video, very practical fpr us who can't get ahold of those fancy synchro pieces! I was about to go yapping about how you ised the word clutch for the gearbox-like mechanisms in the video but thankfully I watxhed to the end first. I see you do know what a clutch is, I would've been pretty embarrassed to give a lecture and then find out at the end of the video that I was wrong. Anyways yeah most of the designs you showed are really similar to the meshing and unmeshing designs used in archaic automobile gearboxes, amd sometimes the mesh-unmesh design is still used in reverse gears. But a clutch is meant to disengage the power to the gearbox so that shifting can occur, since as you noted, those mechanisms wouldn't work too well while turning under force. :) Anyways again good job
Yeah, again that's a point where I sacrificed terminology to have a way to put these mechanisms in a single video :) The original Lego part is often referred to as a "clutch", so I went with that, but yeah, that's not really correct.
