(...) Agreed... Large pumps suck at being motorized. But has anyone ever tried mounting one to a piston-like assembly? Maybe something that pushes and pulls it much like a human hand would.

(...) during the old times (before my dark ages) 2L axles don't have the notches that you describe, but they naturally gain some irregular notches while trying to put it from a technic connector/toggle connector piece. Actually I remember I was (...) (24 years ago, 3-Aug-00, to lugnet.technic)

(...) You have failed to point out that moving involves a lot of heavy lifting. This can be reduced significantly by placing heavy objects on air-cushioned platforms.
