...you always want the motor to turn in one direction, and that power cannot travel down two different paths of resistance, only the one of least resistance.
Actually power can -- and must -- always travel simultaneously down ALL paths in amounts inversely proportional to their resistance.

However, whether a motor can (simultaneously) turn in more than one direction is a question above my pay grade.

i am a serious hobbyist. i want to create construction scene with a crane about 18 inches tall, to lift a simulated load of brick,s rise till the top, hit a limit switch pause and reverse to the ground hit a ilmit switch and go back up.
i do not want any manual swiches involved. i need this to turn on and off with a time clock to run for about 6-8 hours at a time. i'd like to use a 12v small motor and 3A 12v plug wiring.
is this possible?
If you are still interested I have a few options.
