Calum that's great good for you!!! nice implantation of the blue tubes that hold the final stack. looks clean. how many blocks can be shot up before they weigh too much and overpower the motor?? -- Chris Lego Walker now @ (...)

| | | | (...) Well, in the setup now, it's the blue tubes that present the limit. I think it'll go four with the current setup until they bend away and a block falls out of the gaps between tubes. I'm gonna have to reinforce the tubes (which are easy to (...) (24 years ago, 29-Jan-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

It appears that we all appreciated the double tires grabbing and throwing the block up ;) I incorporated something similar in my (soon to be done) 'bot because the grabber arm I (...)

| | | | I just had some more thoughts on your mechanism... Using curved guides up front should elimenate most of your block alignment problems. Use a couple of those big sloped znap pieces like Chris did. This way, you would only have to drive the grabber (...) (24 years ago, 2-Feb-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

That was the plan, but it's a little more insidious than that. :( It's not just the floor plane, it's the alignment in the other plane-ie, it's if a block hops into the wheels (ie, being bumped by another block behind it, or being bumped by an (...)
