   (...) I have it, will capture it this weekend. (...) Sony's model prefix for a VHS VCR. Specifically a LOT of visitors are looking for info on the SLV-R5UC and R1000, two older but very good SVHS decks that tend to break with very common problems. I (...)

   (...) Ah, don't worry about it - I went to my parents on Saturday, and they had it taped, so they showed it to me. I like the plotter. :) Iain (22 years ago, 27-Jan-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

   (...) now, your mocking me. how could you like that plotter..... it was the same plotter as the 8094 except i ripped out the old 9v motors and direct drove the system with NEW 9v motors. it was a simple plotter with poor accuracy. the mocking comes (...)

   (...) But it was pretty fast! If you made it a little more rigid, maybe refine the pen holding, and slow it down a bit, you'd have a beautiful machine. (...) Cute analogy. :) (...) I did! It just had to be spoon fed. :) (...) A stepfeeder! Great (...) (22 years ago, 27-Jan-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

   (...) you once talked about a rolling feeder when i asked how real world materials handling was done. one day while pondering this in lego I thought about step feeding. I banged to gether a quick proof of concept, then got called to dinner. I think (...) (22 years ago, 27-Jan-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
   
        Re: What rolls down stairs, alone or in pairs... —Iain Hendry
   (...) I think so, too! The step width has to be slightly over half the diameter of the part being picked up - that's so that any bunching up or clogs fall over the edge leting only one part continue up. (...) Penguins, aww :) I wish MarineLand had (...) (22 years ago, 27-Jan-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

    (...) OH, I see, your thought is to carry the axle vertically? no that cant work cause you have axle length from 2 - 12 units. my thought was to make a step 12 units wide this would carry all lengths up.. humm this would not solve how to deal with (...)

        Re: What rolls down stairs, alone or in pairs... —Iain Hendry
   (...) Right, you make the step at least 12 units wide, and since the axles are laying on their side in the bin, they'll... this is confusing to try and describe in words. (...) Yeah, thats what I meant too :) humm (...) What normally happens is then (...) (22 years ago, 27-Jan-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
   
        Re: What rolls down stairs, alone or in pairs... —Chris Magno
   (...) oh... neat. now.. over 12 units; would it be ONE big step or would the step be broken into 1 unit long segments? sort of if I took apart 11 penguins and glued all the steps side by each? or would it be more like if i took one penguin and (...)

        Re: What rolls down stairs, alone or in pairs... —Iain Hendry
   (...) Not quite sure what you mean... Normally, the step is more like a blade with a thickness just over half the diameter of the part to be step-fed. It will have a stroke of whatever the depth of your bin is, and be on a slight angle so that when (...) (22 years ago, 27-Jan-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
