Well, I happen to work for a company which is just about to market a
product for dealing with constraints - and this seems as a nice problem for
making a small demo this weekend. Fuzziness and perfection must wait, though.

| This may be more appropriate for lugnet.technic. There has been postings or listings of these before, but don't let that stop you. You should add the turntable gears (outside is 56t, I think) somehow. I also would rather see the vertical in mixed (...) (24 years ago, 6-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics)
