It's hard to do this without active components. If you
use a typical small 4-pole double-throw relay, you can
guarantee no cross-connection by using one normally-
closed contact in each relay in series with the coil of
the OTHER relay. So a relay MUST be off for the other relay
to be able to be turned on.

That sounds like a good approach.

Again, what kind of motors are you using?

As I stated before - I'm using the motors that came with the RCX.

Wes, I'm sorry; I missed the Rcx Motor info... If the Rcx Motors start/run with 6V but don't work with the Rcx Outputs, something is 'Funny'. The Rcx, with decent batteries, puts out about 7 volts to a running Rcx motor (full power setting). I'm not (...) (25 years ago, 10-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
