It has to do this without allowing spin in the wrong direction.  I am hoping
it can be as simple as a gear that gets driven around another gear until it
starts going the right way.  It should preferably not be sensor-driven, or
reliant on external componets like switches.  It should be as compact as
possible.

Anyone got any suggestions?
