do I go for the grabber arm stacking mechanism with stationary cam

Opinions?  Options?  Other ideas?

I don't supose there is any way to make it pick out objects on a white
surface? Like, could you do something like..... Ok, have blocks siting on a
white table (blocks are black), and have an arm pick out where the blocks
are? That would be hardcore. Or, you could have like an UglyPrevent (TM)
device, and you would like go and sit in front of it, and if the thing
decides you are ugly, it could fire one of those spring-loaded Teal Technic
Things (TTT) at you.

You can purchase a token to ride the Subway/RT for $2. That's where I got
mine. :)

seems like a worthy investment )

It sure is. I almost went today, but I realized I used up my stupid battery
for my camera last night pulling stills from a previous trip on the RT.
Dammit. That can wait until tomorrow, I guess. I love RT in snow. :)

(BTW you can see those pics and hear the sounds of the RT now at:
