I built a few modules for an Australian AFOL meeting. I must say i did very

The three components were:
1 conveyor belt (excellent reliablility and throuput)
2 screw (inspired by Philo) which had a tiny bow in the 32L axle causing
excessive leaks, but good over all throughput.
3 pneumatic elevator (very slow-0.1bps. minimal leaks but excesive mechanical
failures)
I think their flawed construction constituted to their outstanding success.
While the machine needed maintenance almost every minute, it was susequently one
of the most popular displays at the show given that everybody took it upon them
selves to have a build/play/fix.
The next one i build isn’t even going to have balls, it will just be a machine
that breaks itself !
