Yeah, that makes sense. A bit bulky, but probably worth it. I'll have to try
that in Version 0.2.


Well, the Super Car description in the Lego S@H catalog suggests that
they've got a working 5-speed (+ reverse!) transmission in that kit.

I'm hoping to come up with some way so that the act of powering the
lower-geared motor automatically causes it to engage. That way, you don't
need to waste a third motor on the control...
