It works, but it's not very elegant and my feeling is that
it could be done with fewer elements. Does anyone have
pointers to similar robust constructions ?

I had the same problem. I already tried 2 aproaches: 1) One motor "slides" the second one to key positions where its small gear connects to gears in separate axles. It was not elegant and I had a problem to control the sliding motor position. It was (...) (25 years ago, 6-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics)
