Outputs are more of a "limit", but that just means one needs more
creativity.  I've got a robot about 2/3 built now as a prototype to
expand output control.  I use one motor to drive a transmission which
will shift the other two motors between two different drive trains
(each).  I've pretty well finished the mechanical design and
implementation, but still have all the coding to do (NQC).  Of course if
you can do it with two drive trains, you can do it with N (which would
go a long way to solve the output limit).


Brett, I have been working on a couple different transmission designs
with multiple gear ratios.

I am most interested in knowing how you used a RCX motor to shift the
motors into the two different drive trains.  Does it require any
sensors?

Any pics available?

(...) I replied to these questions from an e-mail Ian sent, but since it's here as a post also, I'll (partially) reply here too. I don't have any pictures, but I am working on a web site that will document all my custom input and output devices. I (...) (25 years ago, 15-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) At the risk of being argumentative, I'd submit that no matter how many inputs/outputs they provide people will always want more. The trick is to "expand" what's available to do what you want to do. There are already various ideas and designs (...) (25 years ago, 1-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)
