Usage[edit | edit source]
The Gearbox can relay rotational power in four horizontal directions. The vertical counterpart, like the normal version, can relay power in four vertical directions.
When receiving input from any input side (sides with a shaft shape), the Gearbox will output/relay rotational power in opposite spin for all of the remaining sides. In another word, when the input is clockwise, the output on the other 3 sides will be anti-clockwise, and vice-versa.
Real World Comparison[edit | edit source]
The word "gearbox" can bring to mind a speed-shifter in a car, but the create mod gearbox is similar to a real-life 4-way bevel gearbox. A bevel gear is a gear that instead of being straight like a cog, it drafts inward 20 degrees to be placed 90 degrees to the touching gear.
