Hello again. If you read my last post, you know my bio already... HS student,
been in robotics for six weeks... little knowledge of mechanics... you get
my drift.

Anyway, I'm working on that four legged robot (yeah, that one). I had used
seven motors for all of the motion, but my last instruction was "Get it down
to four motors or less. Arrgh. So, I played with it for a little while
(read: a few weeks), and finally got it so that the motion (places where
motors had to be) was confined to four _locations_. My problem is that I
have to switch the motors from one set of gears to another, as they all
serve at least two mechanisms. It can be electronically controlled, and
the final project will be controlled via computer, so it doesn't have to
be automatic (although it wouldn't be a bad thing...).

Thanks to everyone who helped with my first problem (ie four legs), and
I did find the shaft with a rack on it. Problem was that it was listed
as a round rack. Good day to all.
