Ok I have a large black of wood and a small block of wood with a piston attaching the two together. Then I attached a wheel one layer in front of the small block of wood using a motor bolt. The problem is, when I attached the wheel, the piston stops working. Is there a way I can prevent this from happening? Thanks

The problem is that the piston's strength depends on the mass of the objects it connects. Your small block of wood means you'll have a weak piston. It's only based on the objects it connects directly, so the wheel's mass isn't taken into account. However, it's not just holding the two blocks apart, but it also has to handle the wheel, so it turns out it's not strong enough to get the job done. As for fixing the problem, you'll have to get creative. You may need to make your small block bigger or change it to metal (which will double its mass), make your wheel smaller, or just come up with another design all together.
