Continuing along with that thought, how cool would this be? If I remember right, you showed me that the new train wheels have a technic axle hole in them. If we could get enough of those wheels (Bricklink, maybe?), then we wouldn’t have to use the train motor, and could use the conventional 9V gearmotors (maybe 8t to 24t crown would be just the right reduction).

I’m getting a stopping accuracy of about +/- 0.1 dots by pulsing the motor on the ramp-down, which I think is close enough. If we do something like Rob’s suggested (cone and plug), that should be sufficent for any brick-on-brick pressing. I also agree about the possibility of each vendor (!) doing their own method of locating the pallet or whatever. We can each make up little fake company names and pretend we’re all contract companies and rtlToronto is the system integrator. ;)
