Hi Dean,
I'm really pleased to see this discussion and I suspect that there are
several of us who will directly benefit from it. I particularly liked
reading your curriculum in post http://news.lugnet.com/robotics/?n=18051, I
will borrow some of it in future classes I teach at my local elementary school.
I have short word document on Lego geometry that I wrote last year for a
talk I did at a 4H Technology club. You can find it here:

I also have a couple of Technic puck pickup mechanisms that you may find
useful. These are based on designs that I made for a series of Puck
Gathering robots used at a local, Seattle area, robot competition. These
are assembly instructions and can be a basis for a discussion comparing two
different designs, one that uses gears and one that uses levers. You can
find links to both sets of instructions here:

I call these dual-action mechanisms because with a single turn they achieve
a series of actions: first they grab the object and then they lift and throw
the object.
