Points $A$, $B$, and $O$ lie in the plane such that $\measuredangle AOB = 120^\circ$. Circle $\omega_0$ with radius $6$ is constructed tangent to both $\overrightarrow{OA}$ and $\overrightarrow{OB}$. For all $i \ge 1$, circle $\omega_i$ with radius $r_i$ is constructed such that $r_i < r_{i - 1}$ and $\omega_i$ is tangent to $\overrightarrow{OA}$, $\overrightarrow{OB}$, and $\omega_{i - 1}$. If \[ S = \sum_{i = 1}^\infty r_i, \] then $S$ can be expressed as $a\sqrt{b} + c$, where $a, b, c$ are integers and $b$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Compute $100a + 10b + c$.

Pete has an instrument which can locate the midpoint of a line segment, and also the point which divides the line segment into two segments whose lengths are in a ratio of $n : (n + 1)$, where $n$ is any positive integer. Pete claims that with this instrument, he can locate the point which divides a line segment into two segments whose lengths are at any given rational ratio. Is Pete right?
