Well, yes, I suppose I could. But then again, the mindstorms version won't remove Walnut shells from walnuts and even if it did, I don't think it could do 8 tons per hour. Still, I would like to see a mindstorms one as well. Mike Zonker Harris (...) (24 years ago, 5-Apr-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

I will be sorting the tubs and building from here on out.

Hi, Wow, I say, it never hurts to ask your dad. He might get a kick out of it. Worst he could say is NO, are you nuts! Would make a nice newspaper article w/ color photo, etc. though. What does the company usually use the equipment for when not (...) (24 years ago, 5-Apr-00, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)
