Wow! That is so cool! When I first got my RIS I thought of making a platform
that could drag our Vacuum along with it but never got around of doing one.
Your all LEGTO solution is great! To bad you had to make such a complicated
platform for it :) A "normal" LEGO synchro would have done just fine i.e. all
(three in your case) drives turn with the same axle. Of course this would not
allow the platform to rotate but it matters not with this application.

You should find one on most LEGO-fan created webpages, read a few and write
your own. AFAIK there is no "standard" disclaimer to copy/paste.
