Mission Brief
Your mission, young Padawan, is to design a compound gear train in Onshape that achieves an exact 300:1 reduction ratio under the strict watch of the Jedi Council. Precision, patience, and understanding of the mechanical Force will be key.
Ensure Onshape Account is made with VJTI mail ID for the alliance to access.
