Good idea, I have built a prototype pendulum clock using the RCX that has a realistic tick tock sound and swinging pendulum. Instead of weights it uses the RCX to give the pendulum a 'kick' every second, this allows it to run indefinetly. Now I just (...) (25 years ago, 21-Jan-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build)
