Use short axles
With short axles, it is much easier to prevent torsion.
System of gear wheels
We need to increase the torque and we've added a system of gear wheels to do this.
English
What have we done to prevent torsion and sagging of the axles when we transfer power from the center driving axle to the two sides of the attachment? To prevent torsion and sagging of the axles don't use long axles. First rule. Use short axles. And when you use short axles connect these axles with these red parts here. You have them in the set. I'm not sure how many you have but I think you have enough and try to always connect these axles with these red parts and this will prevent sagging and torsion of the different axles. What are the other things that we have done? We changed the direction of the gears, then we have a small system of gear wheels that increases the ratio and changes the ratio so that at the end we have larger torque not larger speed. And that's the main way that we do it.

FIRST LEGO League (FLL) 2016-2017 Animal Allies. Review of solutions with explanations
The course contains a number of sections with specific examples and tasks on how you could improve your FIRST LEGO League (FLL) robot game in order to achieve more points. It is designed mostly for after season teams that would like to prepare for next year, but could also work for teams that are currently working on their competition robots.

Extending gears drive (Coming soon)
One of the very common problems with the LEGO Mindstorms and LEGO Technic Gear wheels is then a tooth is skipped. In this video, I would like us to discuss this challenge and how do we solve it.
