It turns out that I was able to fudge it by slightly shifting some of the peddles a little (I guess I should've thought of that sooner since the peddles were more of an artistic thing rather than that of engineering). However, this should come in handy for another aspect of the project that I'll be ...

I'm working on a stylized project in which a larger sprocket gear meshes with gear that resembles a flower. http://i.imgur.com/9J7O6gJ.jpg Are there any tricks that can get these two shapes to look like they convincingly mesh?
