Well, maybe it was a shot. No, just kidding. Make sure youre robot works next
time, and wow me.

Faster better cheaper like NASA's recent probe to Mars?? just kidding.
I guess I thought it would need two rcx's to control the mutiple pneumatic
switches you have. Or does the grab cylinder trigger the lift cylinder
automaticly? Is it like a pneumatic circuit? This would make sense, but how
does it let go of the tower once it has been lifted up? More info, please. By
the way, I am really intrigued with pneumatics, and just bought some recently,
and I am thinking af how to integrate them into robotics. Do you have any
really good switch designs? Most I have seen are either hideously complicated
and huge. I am looking for a cyclic design that would allow the switch to be
flipped back and forth while running the motor in only one direction. Keep on
building...

(By the way, I tried to get my friend who came with me to the last contest
into the whole lego mindstorms thing. Hes interested in robotics and is a real
computer geek, so I figure he would be perfect. Unfortunately, he doesn't want
to spend that much money because he is saving up for school next year. Oh
well, I tried to recruit another, but failed. I am thinking there has got to
be more Lego robotics people in our area, but they just remain hidden.)
