Ok I lied. I'm stuck again. 
Thought I could figure it out but it's just not doing what I want. Like how this looks but can't see how to make Case 3 and 4 go the opposite way.
Case 1 and 2- Move from strip 1-12
Case 3 and 4- Move from strip 12-1 (reverse direction)
Here is the code. I tried all kinds of ways to change case 3 and 4 to work in the reverse direction with no luck. I'm probably way off on my thoughts anyways. Def harder than I expected this to be. Hopefully I'll understand any help given Thank you
