   I think that would work... if it didn't cause the module to "walk" away from
its neighboring modules. Currently, there is no mechanical connection between
the GBCms, so excessive vibration may result in misalignment over time. Also, it
takes a motor - most of the "unsticking" systems I've seen are like Dave's, in
that they use one motor for two functions, a lift as well as a "jam busting"
mechanism.

The easiest  way is to mount an off set (anything) directly on a motor,
and run that motor full on.  The vibration will loosen any stuck balls.

   And, perhaps the motor mount. Didn't you guys actually start shaking apart
your own mechanisms with some of these? I want my GBCm's to run for hours
continuously (well, I can dream...).

(no this is NOT an 8880 attempt) Steve, and the rest of you ball players. Steve was bemoaning how he was not smart enough to figure out a way to unjam stuck balls. Ummmm, Didn't we (rtl) figure out a LONG time ago, that useing a vibrator is a good (...) (19 years ago, 17-Feb-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
