Imitation block
I had an idea to simplify controlling of subgrids. An imitation block. It could fit in with the AI or advanced systems. You place the imitation block and set a target to copy and a target or group to command. It becomes active when the target block receives any input. It would work with rotors, hinges, pistons, Rover wheels, thrusters, gyros, anything that can move when an input is received. It can only copy components of the same type. Example, a rotor could not copy a hinge or thruster. It would give the same control to these components as if they were on the main grid of the cockpit. No need for sensors timers or scripting to make advanced rovers and ships with subgrids parts essential for operation of the vehicle. It could also be used to make other cool machines, the possibilities are endless. Thank you for your time.

Also I forgot to add. The imitation block would respect limits on the receiving target. Example if the copy piston is extending to max length but the piston being commanded has a max limit of 1 meter then it would stop at 1 meter and if the copy piston retracted then the piston being commanded wouldn't react until the copy piston was back within its limits. Or if a Rover wheel is being copied that can turn or accelerate and the wheel being commanded has steering turned off then it would only accelerate
