The approach I would take would be to use a splitter (ratchet or worm) and make one output shaft a gear selector for a transmission, and the other shaft the input power for the transmission. The transmission design would be tricky, because the (...) (25 years ago, 27-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)

I don't know if this will help, but i'm currently working on a device that lets one motor drive four seperate axles. Downside is that it's one direction only, and only one axle can be used at one time. Howerver, you could use an extra gear to make (...) (25 years ago, 27-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) 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)
