A stepfeeder!  Great idea.

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 it could work.

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.

Sigh.  I can't find a url.

neither could I.  they exist, but it was just quicker to send the dog

Penguins, aww :)

I wish MarineLand had penguins.  They're soooo cute!  I once considered
switching to Linux becuase of the penguin theme.  Little chubby penguin.  Aww...

We have dialup here, and that's over a network.
It's so slow.  But you know, it's the same thing, -puppies +penguins.

this cracks me up.

A fancy leading edge robotics materials company

We can't get high speed in Ayr!

Are you trying to speak Olde Englishe?

"Where for art thou located in thus Ayr?"  or some crap?

BTW on my drive to milton I drove passed a place called Fanuc Robotics.
who are they?

You're joking right?  They're only like, the world's largest robot company,
ever.  :)  We used to buy motors and drives from them for our robots (the
VMR3 you saw at PLAST-EX was using Fanuc motors and drives).  But not anymore.

(...) 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 (...)
