@@AKAchillez The convenient thing for you is there is a spotlight block in the game now that does the same thing but much better. Also the custom turret controller could be used to the same effect. If you're dead set on using a sensor gyro setup still then you need to set up the sensors to only look at their specific side, and when they see something, they turn on their specific gyro with an override setting. If you mirror the gyros to each other, then you can give them the same rpm setting and they will turn opposite ways

Found a really really practical use that might be interesting for the carousel. Use it with just two arms, instead of 4, so that you can have a really quick welding sequence to remake spent missiles and re-fire them without having to worry about the rotor's velocity reversing. I have a few of my older ships that use that type of method to shoot faster than welding outright, and the torque of the rotor tends to throw the ship off kilter, so the carousel might help

Some really cool stuff here. Do you think there's a way we could use the last tip to make an elevator that stops at desired floors? Like you hit the appropriate button and it turns on rotor attach for the floor you want to stop at? It would work both for a call button and a send button. You could theoretically have as many floors as you'd like. Maybe set up a sensor inside the elevator to detect when there are no players and send the elevator to a "neutral location". The only thing I can't picture right now is the delivery mechanism, but I'm sure there's an elegant solution.
