One thing to add, the gear ratio on linear tracks, hinges and pivots can be a little weird. Changing the ratio will always change the speed, 1:1 is the fastest. 1:1 should also be the weakest, however depending on the weight of the body connected to it, it is sometimes stronger. I have no hard and fast rule for this, just use trial and error. If it struggles to move using a high ratio like 1:16, try using a lower ratio like 1:1. It doesn't make any sense, but it may save you some frustration to know about this little quirk.
Also if you want to use the compact tracks for their asterisks and you want to still be able to stop them precisely with a microcontroller/pid you can always use a (laser) distance sensor to get the distance. Depends on the situation of course but there are times it comes in useful.
Can you review the North Star Sirius pro and Nova and ther rocket the Aurora they make some pretty cool stuff that just need the public to know about them
I know this is unrelated, but in your How to build a Functional Boat tutorial, I couldn't find the microcontroller that you used for starting the boat. If it's in a video I hadn't checked, or a steam workshop post, then a link would be greatly appreciated! Video in question: ua-cam.com/video/V0ZwBd_2Mqk/v-deo.html

Amazing extra tidbit! I didn't want to go into that because like you said, it seems like a glitch that the ratios do not work in a logical way ahha
I am on your steam workshop page subbing to all your stuff in reverse order one at a time reading all your fluff, I absolutely love it.

Ah this is a good idea. I used to use touch sensor but that took too many rooms
Thats so clever
I been looking for something like this a two month ago and thank you for the video.
A question how to out a Linear track base to a throttler ?

Is there anyway to do this with a single toggle button or a flip switch?
