Does anyone have any idea how I could move this Frame Quarry around? I would greatly appreciate it.

I did try something like this:

Battery Box powers the Frame Motor and everytime I signal the Receiver it will move left (the Frame Motor is facing right but upside down).

This did not work however.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Is the wiring on a panel or cover? panels allow you to place wiring and will be moved with the frames while covers prevent anything from moving with the frame. The wire on the side of the frame motor shouldn't be necessary. If you did get it moving with that motor though you will still need another frame motor to move that first motor back into place. Basically to move a frame structure in 1 direction you need 2 motors since the motor does not move itself.

Do you think you would be able to join my server (whitelisted) and help me build this?
I would greatly appreciate it, as I am confused with the covers part. All wiring has to be on covers? Or it can not be placed on the frame blocks.

If the arrows on the frame motor are on the right, your battery box is going to try and move to the right (which it cant- you motors in the way).

Also the redwire on the side of the motor is not supported by anything.

My Frame Motor is facing away from the Battery Box :)
Also, the Redwire on the side is supported in the apposite corner.

Wiring has to be on panels. covers deactivate the frames ability to move blocks on that side of it. Panels do not deactivate the frames moving ability while allowing for wires to be placed. Also as Celestialphoenix said if the motor is facing right it is trying to move the battery box onto the spot the motor is located, so it doesn't move.

That wire on the side of the motor WILL stop the whole thing moving.

The arrow pointing away from the battery will ALSO stop it moving because the battery is connected to the frame and to move the direction of the arrow the battery would hit the motor block NOTE the MOTOR dose not move when you acitvate it ONLY the frame moves you then need to use a second motor to move the first motor back into place to go again.

Would someone be able to join me on my personal server to give me a helping hand? It's kind-of confusing :(
