Okay I think I’ve been mentioned twice now so I’ll come in for some support lol here’s my two cents before I go back and read all of this.
I would love to see a bunch of those red lights used since there’s so many. I think it could be pulled off pretty easily with what josh mentioned; using gears and likely lift arms to push the lights on.
If you wanted to use mindstorms, we could go that route but they get so bulky I find using a motor and technic parts more space effective.
Lastly, I’m not sure what clock thing you think I made that you’re referring to though…
