I agree with the above posts. It is definitely a cool idea, and something that has never been done before. But, I also agree with what Matt said. I see no reason why building one of these is more beneficial than building a simple shifter. The Technokat style dog shifter is great, but somewhat difficult to make. But, anyone with a mill and a lathe can make a "pin style" shifter similar to what we made this year. *shrug*

It's certainly a cool idea though.
Keep 'em comin'!
