When using a sequenced gear shift to push an assembly of blocks that contain mechanical drills, the gearshift will not wait for drills to break blocks, causing the pushed assembly to move part way in the desired direction of travel, then snap back to the starting position. I have demonstrated this with pistons as well as gantry carriages. I am attempting to push an assembly exactly one block at a time.

If the assembly that is being pushed does not have any blocks in the path of mechanical drills to break (i.e. there is no delay introduced by the block breaking mechanic) then the assembly moves one block as intended.

This seems to indicate that the action of the sequenced gear shift is based on a calculated time that does not take into account the delay that can occur when mechanical drills are breaking blocks of varying hardness. The observed behavior is consistent at varying rotational speeds.

The sequenced gearshift programming, using a piston, is:
- Piston 1M <-
- Delay 5T
- Piston 1M ->
- End

Changing the travel distance to greater than 1M using a piston with only one extension pole works somewhat, but 2M doesn't work with all materials that the mechanical drills encounter. Increasing the distance seems to help, but begins to introduce undesirable delay that appears inconsistent.
