Hi,
At wat I believe is referred to as "the Mindstorms Mall Tour 2000" I have
seen a model which has six of these launchers mounted in a circle. It looks
just like a machine gun. For mounting a small 'pulleywheel' was used. The
whole construction of these six launchers is connected to an axle, which is
powered by a motor. When the construction is turning, the 'launch handles'
is triggered by sliding over another wheel.
The actual model was connected to the vision command. The result of waving
in front of the camera was that you got hit by six rapidly fired projectiles
:)
It's great stuff to play with. Too bad I have only 1 launcher...
