Wow! That's just the type of thing I was looking for. Where do those little red
motors come from?

Onderwerp: Motor output multiplexing




I have just built a 2 motor to 4 output multiplexer.
(One motor is used to direct the output of the other to
one of four axles. It is easily expandible to 6 outputs)

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 ?
