Cool -
That works for me :)
Steve -
on the page it says "The IN basket should be 10 studs by 10 studs
(outside dimension) with an 8x8 opening, and should be 10 bricks
(beams) tall." and "Each module should be able to accept balls at an
average rate of 1 ball per second. Balls can be passed continueously,
or in a batch. A batch should not exceed 30 balls."
Does this mean the IN basket can have any type of
internals/mechanicals, so long as the entry point is 10x10 with an 8x8
opening located 10 bricks off the ground, having a capacity of 30
balls, and being able to flush those said thirty balls in 30 seconds?
(as opposed to a 10x10x10 hopper that has to be scraped/dumped out?)
I'm also guessing that the IN hopper must always be there :)

| (...) To clarify--are we allowed to use 2 'module spaces' if we want? As well, I notice that the train ran along 'outside' the designated module area--is that allowed as well? Do we then have to get permission from our neighbouring module owners to (...) (19 years ago, 7-Jan-05, to lugnet.robotics)
