Gears & Peers

I did a bit more adjusting of the items in Gears & Peers. I think I'm going to call them "Command Modules". Rather than increasing and decreasing speed, I created modules for adding and skipping steps. I don't want people to have to count too high, wait for too many steps to be processed, or think of robots changing.

Here's another mock-up. I recreated the robots with tattoos of their gear shapes in order to give me room to put the command module choices in the player list. I might have to adjust the pink Turn Clockwise module to make the color look less like the red Skip Step module. Overall, it looks more cluttered than the old mock-up, but the mechanics are easier to understand. (Besides, 2 to 4 less command modules will be on the map during real matches.)
