Thanks for the compliment. :-)

I don't know if you own a Space Shuttle or the 8880 Supercar, but I use the
same system as is used in their gear boxes. I use the same piece: a block
with two cross-axle holes placed perpendicular to each other, and on the
other side of the block a rig that fits between the two rings on the special
piece that fits inside the idler gear. If you stick an axle through the
piece, you can connect a gear to the axle, and if you gear your motor down
enough and use a clutch gear, you should be able to let the RCX control the
differential lock. So if you leave the RCX and the motor out, the entire
differential lock is mechanical. I wouldn't know an electronic way to
control the differential lock.
