-- the second solution using only small LEGO cogwheels
+   The principle behing the current version of 
+   our interface between the optomechanical mouse and
+   LEGO pieces: driving the mouse axles by a rubber LEGO tyre. 
+   A smooth tyre (Bricklink part no 132-old)
+   works even better, but they are currently
+   in short supply.
 
-    - easier to construct, still too easily hopping over 
+The third and so far final solution is to use the mouse's own
+mechanism, simply driving it using a LEGO rubber tyre 
+(Fig. [ref-figwheelmechanism1]).
+In order to drive the mouse axle properly, a small
+amount of pressure
+needs to be applied to the wheel; this is provided by a small
+LEGO mechanism showin in Fig. [ref-figpressmechanism].

-    - best part = 132-old, but the shaped tyres will also do
