| (...) Well, that's fair enough. The LEGO trademark on the standard brick must have expired years ago, it's only the fact that the community automatically associates said brick design with LEGO that prevented Megabloks taking it for themselves ages (...)

| I missed the initial post the first time I read about this, but my first thought was magnets. My wife (a non-AFOL) thought magnets too when I showed her the video. I've noticed the train magnets are strong enough to make the magnets twitch on trains (...) (22 years ago, 3-Aug-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build, lugnet.trains)

Truly, imho, it's MOCs like that, that will make HO modelers think twice about the "limitations of the brick". Way to go! Nicely (...)

Perhaps a small lever that's pressed by the train as it goes past, which is connected by a hidden string to the (...) (22 years ago, 3-Aug-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build, lugnet.trains, FTX)

| (...) Thanks :) (...) Well, the only limit I see is from the power of the RCX and/or its number of outputs. You can easely modify the programm, by example in order to add sensors or outputs to control 3 or more cows. For my part, I have only two (...)

And is it possible to vary the rate of motion slightly between animals? In any case, (...) (22 years ago, 3-Aug-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build, lugnet.trains, FTX)
