Hi,
1. I load the gear demo, it works
2. If i make a new cylider and set up the gear exactly like the one in the demo, everything goes right through the child cubes. the gear does not rotate. I have they dynamic compound cylider with the hinge, then child dynamic cubes. just like the demo.
I tried making a new file and tried recreating the gear and same result. I can't get it to work and i have no ideal why.
3. Im using priview 14 , is there a new one?
4. For the contest do you have to use 14 or can you use a newer version?
Any help please. Thanks

yes, when creating a new gear...
1. The things connected to the cylinder need to be fix up first
2. Create the cylinder, add the constraints.(object buttons F7, add constraint, select hinge constraint, hit "show pivot", the hinge pivots on the px axis)
3. In the cylinders logic buttons Select "compound"
4. Add a cube
5. Set the bounds of cube to cube
6. On the cube use alt-r then ctrl-a then alt-p(clear the "clear parent inverse" do this BEFORE parenting it to the cylinder.
7. Parent the cube to the cylinder
hope that works.. and helps
