So, I'm at home with a sick boy, today, which has given me time to rebuild my
stepper module (already 10 studs wide) and it's now 32 studs long. It will turn the
stream right or left, go straight, it runs right at 1 bps (actually 4 balls/4sec),
and it holds a large number of balls. It works well, and it fits the spec.
