splitting the controls for the doubble crossover can be done in a couple of
ways. as soon as i get my hands on a set i will write up some instructions for

as for selenoids there really is no need. automating 9v/rc switches is fairly
straight forward. see:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=109777&n=47 see photos that
start with a "z" also there are literaly probably 100+ solutions to automate
all you have to do is look.
