Knex 3-Way Geartrain Switch

Knex 3-way gear train switch

This is a 3-way path selector I made for my ball machine. it uses a standard toggle switch, an arm, a gear train, and a rotating switch in the design. In some of the pictures where you are shown the pieces needed for that step, some of the pieces are missing. There aren't many of them, i think its just a white rod and an orange straight connector. Also, a little bit of this switch diverges from the regular blue rod grid, but not in any way that should profoundly affect a machine.

The Arm

This is the toggle switch, it comes after the rotating switch, and before the arm.
