​how we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.

I'm using Onshape, and I've been quite a few issues with my assembly mates. I was hoping I could animate everything to give me a feel of how it's going to look. But I can't.

​I can't figure out how to give the two gears rotation restrictions without interfering with my rack and pinion mate. 
It's easy enough to see the min and max angle of rotation. I can do with for both gears, even though I don't like that I can't just use negative degree to get the same limits for the other gear.

Obviously things start breaking. Hard. And I totally understand why. But then it becomes a bit tricky if you want certain things, like the gears, to start i the correct space related to the rack.
I'm also using a cam to control my rack and pinion. I can fake it with a tangent mate, but after a bit the relationship swaps from outside to outside and jumps to inside to outside.

Even when the tangent mate does hold, I can't fully rotate my cam in a circular motion because it gets hung up around 180 degrees. I'm not really sure what's happening here.
