| | | I saw this and was reminded of Rafe's binary counter: (URL) a marble-powered binary adder. Rafe's counter could do this with a tiny bit of modification. He'd just have to add a tray at the top and bottom to temporarily store the input and output for (...) (17 years ago, 25-Jun-07, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)

| | | | (...) Hi Jordan, You are right; Rafe's counter actually does this already. The only mod would be the storage trays you mentioned. In fact, during down times at Brickworld, I often mention that the machine is really an adding maching and all we are (...) (17 years ago, 25-Jun-07, to lugnet.robotics)

Personally, I think this turned out to be a much better (...) (17 years ago, 4-Jul-07, to lugnet.robotics)

It works very well that way for closing loops - both Steve and I can switch the trains from "circulating" to "ping-pong" mode at will, (...)
