Re: pic: Four-Speed Ball-Lock Single-Pneumatic Transmission Design

Would a servo (or a gang of servos) work, with a decently long lever arm? You'd have to work out the linkage to operate it, but I think you could do it. Many moons ago, my dad and I discussed a ball-lock with servos to shift, but were not having an easy time figuring out how exactly to do it.
