Here's a circuit that spins both Motors 1 & 2 in one direction when Switch A is pressed and spins only Motor 2 in the same direction when Switch B is pressed. It uses a diode to prevent both motors from spinning when Switch B is pressed. (I don't think that such a control circuit is possible w

LOL Chris, But at the end of the video, you see that guy sitting on a chair. He is part of the UMVC as well. He took a "phone video" of the "running over doc" (I hope it was not a photo!). He will be coming to my office this week to sell me a nice WW II coat that would fit perfectly in the unif
