I can? Really? That's great! I thought it would be hard to do, but
evidently it will be both cheap AND easy! (Sarcasm is a two way T1 line)

Actually I gave up on the idea anyway. Just didn't seem to be something
that would work in HoE. But I don't think it would have to be as complex
as all that. It could be a propellant, explosive, heat-sensor,
micro-processor (which would be tough in HoE) and a mini gyroscope. The
"brains" would be pretty simple:
if {Heat source} == {moving left} then
	rotate gyro left
else if {Heat source} == {moving right} then...
