Two questions. First, do you have a picture like this for an old style switch?

I assume the geometry of the switch lever is about the same.
Second, this reversable motor looks good. Can we use that to walk?

Given the choice of running a motor to flip 16 switches, or running a motor to
spin this worm gear box, it seems like it would be easier to have 3 of these,
than ... what was that, about 48 switches? (for forward/back, turn, side-side)
And, I think it would be equally, or even more cool.

| (...) I do in my "Mindstorms Masterpieces" book, but I don't have any on-line. It is similar, except that the pivot point of the old switch is lower. (...) Nope. SSClagorpion does not walk using a simple pneumatic motor configuration. (...) Kevin (21 years ago, 3-May-04, to lugnet.technic)
