I can think of an easier way to do the same thing: http://simplybearings.co.uk/shop/p558081/HF0612+Budget+Needle+Roller+Clutch+Type+One+Way+Bearing+6x10x12mm/product_info.html Rotate one way to drive one gear, the other to drive the other, both mounted on the same motor shaft. It won't allow retract, but it will de-pressure which might have the same effect. I can't see any way round needing 4 motors for full-colour, but I have just thought of a way to do 41 colour with 1 motor, I think. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Introducing Performance Central, a new site from SourceForge and AppDynamics.
