Get in Gear Investigation

if the driving gear was bigger than your driven gear then the robot would travel faster because the rotation of the driving gear once would cause the driven gear to rotate multiple times due to each turn being for instance, 36 teach and 12 teath on the other so that each time 36 teath turned around completly, 12 teath turned around 3 whole times. on the flip-side, if the driven gear was bigger than your driving gear then the power in the wheels would be stronger though causeing the wheels to be slower and shorter distance traveled if using a rotation sensor because each 3 turns of a 12 teath would cause only one wheel turn if the driven wheel was a 36 tooth gear.
