[Lab] gear thoughts

[Justin Slootsky]

Look into the relative sizes of the Lego Technic gears. I'm sure they've already done a lot of the consideration of what works well. 

If I remember correctly, they have small, medium, large, huge. medium + medium is the same overall size as small+large 

I'm also sure that the uber lego enthusiasts have better names for them than small, medium, large, huge
