>>12051754I drew up a rough diagram for the gears idea in paint, and pretty much re-invented it. The origingal idea wouldn't work in the end, so this one has the same concept, but is much simpler.
REVAMP:
Take a gear/conveyor to a walkway to get on a moving platform. Press switch to move platform between left, middle and right. Each switch also moves another platform one step. To get the leader's platform to come forward, must make all platforms go to a side. Could have more than four platforms, and platforms can start in different positions than in the diagram.
