The amazing world of LEGO® Technic constructions.
Based on the vision from Ole Kirk Christiansen (1891-1958), a carpenter from Billund/Denmark, whose personal motto was "Only the best is good enough" - Leg Godt (Play Well).
TechnicBRICKs blog (TBs hereafter) is devoted to the LEGO Technic theme and intends to spot mainly on news and developments, rather than new sets reviews or users creations (aka MOCs). However you will also find them here occasionally...
Most likely, some of you might have seen the 4-speed compact linear gearbox by Sariel. 
MisterFitzGibbon took up on this design and developed a very clever add-on, to change gears with one single motion. Every 90 degree turn, it sets the gearbox one speed up or down.

That is pretty cool...
Wow, that's clever! Even better than the hamster control system :) I think I'll be putting it to use in future.
Wow! that's is quite genius!
Another one video, with applied Geneva mechanism:

Interesting this application of the Geneva Mechanism also. Thanks!
I wonder how the gear change could be driven by a remote controlled motor.
Any idea?
