I'm sorry that no picture can be inserted here. Please describe it in words. In my machine design, there are three axes, input shaft No. 1, output shaft No. 3, and shaft No. 2 are connected to the motor and a gear. In the competition, as a passing vehicle, I will move the gear on shaft No. 2 to the left and engage the gear on shaft No. 1. In the other case, as a pitching cart in the game, I will move the gear on the No. 2 axis to the right and engage the gear on the No. 3 axis. In this case, the No. 2 axis drives the No. 3 axis while the No. 1 axis does not move.<R1>

We're not quite sure what you're asking, but what you describe would generally be legal if designed and built by student team members.
