Name of the Part: Gear

A gear is a toothed wheel that rotates and makes another part move. You can find
gear wheels on your bike, they are linked together with a chain. A "gear train" is
when gears are placed directly alongside each other.

Types of Gear Trains

Gear up: a large gear drives a small gear in order to produce more rotations.
Gear down: a small gear drives a larger gear in order to produce fewer rotations.
For example, used in these Design Library base models:
Walk, Spin, Turn

Name of the Part: Bevel Gear

A bevel gear is an angled gear that can be placed perpendicular to another gear,
changing the axis of the rotation.
For example, used in these Design Library base models:
Flex, Wobble, Push, Turn
