Need a Fourth Motor?

Sunday, September 10th, 2006

Need a fourth motor in your NXT ? Here’s a possible solution…. Well, partial solution at least. Sometimes it is enough to have one motor doing one of two possible functions. The small worm-gear motor “multiplexer” sub-assembly published here allows you to do this easily. When you rotate the horizontal axle CW the worm gear drives one of the 8-tooth gear. When you rotate it CCW, the worm gear slides and drives the other 8-tooth gear.
