Oh I have some ideas ;)
In order for one of my ideas to work, I need the top of the blocks to be
tiled. You let me worry about how the 3x3 block is sitting in the 4x4 square.
I am also so impressed by the delta v 'bot pics that Iain had a link to a
few months back. I'm goint to tentatively try that, but in the end I'll
probably go the plotter/scanner routine -- x handled by the rack system on
both sides of the playfield, and y handled by the rack that moves on the x.
I make easy yet large contraptions--Iain and Rob make small and complex
mechanisms
