(...) I think it would be very difficult to get workable bidirectional control of 2 things from one motor. However, it is quite possible to multiplex motors so you can do many more then 2 things from 2 motors. For example, you can have one motor (...) (25 years ago, 27-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)

Stupid me I just thought of another problem that makes this an engineering impossiblity (I think). How to reverse directions of the left/right action? It seems making the forward/backward motion and the left/right motion on the same motor is (...) (25 years ago, 27-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)

Hi Jason It's a Friday night and my mind has disengaged so I've not totally thought these through, but you could try a combination of ratchets and directional gearboxes (as seen in the Unofficial guide to Lego Mindstorms by J Knudsen). Basically you (...) (25 years ago, 27-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)

Hello Mindstorms fans, I am suffering through a bit of an engineering block. Let me explain: I had an idea to build a drivetrain that will provide both front/back movement and left/right(turning) movement off one motor. My question is: is this (...) (25 years ago, 27-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)
