For NALUG's upcoming show in September, I volunteered to design a motorized
switch, and here is the result:

Any feedback would be appreciated!

Take a look at this thread:

Hi Jürgen,

I had looked at that thread a while ago for ideas, but skipped a lot of the
suggestions because they involved sensors or complex-seeming technic
assemblies.  Looking through it again, I find that my switch is *very*
similar to Carlo Ottolina's (sp?), except for the touch sensor.  I wanted to
avoid anything expensive like touch sensors or RCX bricks because we (NALUG)
have 23 switches on our layout this year, and 23 is a lot of expensive
sensors!  (and 8 is a lot of expensive RCX bricks, too...)

thanks,

James
