I'm forwarding this from the Washington FLL yahoo group. I would consider doing this but at this time I'm not sure what weeks this summer I will be in the Seattle area. Poulsbo is also a bit of a drive (and ferry ride) from Seattle. But in case any (...) (19 years ago, 10-Feb-07, to lugnet.org.us.smart)

(...) One down side here, is that the "ball-lift" must be shut-off when the bridge is raised, and the controller for the ball lift is on the "bridge" (other) side of the opening. But, along those lines, if there is a bin to catch lose balls, the (...) (19 years ago, 7-Feb-07, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

(...) Heres a thought. Just have the slope going in the other direction. That way when it lifts, the balls keep rolling the same direction. (Faster and efficient!) If the raising is too bumpy, just find a way to place a third or fourth overhead rail (...) (19 years ago, 7-Feb-07, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

(...) I wish there was 'advance' warning about this event. I mean, I didn't see any post about this event on LUGNET. Such as, a 3 to 5 week in-advance notice about the event. So, I can make travel plans hotel, car, etc. Generally speaking...about (...) (19 years ago, 7-Feb-07, to lugnet.loc.us.nc, lugnet.org.us.nclug)

(...) Not long at all. With the 3'+ slopping double-beam track I had at BF '06, I think it only took less than five seconds for them to clear the end... and that was for a *very* shallow slope. Given the time it takes to lift and lower the bridge, (...) (19 years ago, 7-Feb-07, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

(...) I am 100% thinking along the same line. At first I thought of simply stopping the ball lift and immediately raising the bridge, letting balls along the slope drain backward into a hopper, but after watching the bridge raise and lower, I doubt (...)

On the other hand, why would the bridge need to carry balls at all? Just put the bridge on the section of track that separates the reliable modules from the unreliable modules' loop. But I suppose if the bridge does nothing at all with balls (not (...) (19 years ago, 5-Feb-07, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

(...) You'd need a hopper to store balls that arrive while the bridge is raised. You could probably rig a gate/door onto it that is open when the bridge is down and closed when the bridge is up. Or the entire hopper could tilt backwards with the (...) (19 years ago, 5-Feb-07, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.org.us.laflrc)
