Hi,
I thought of a new project and would like some input on the idea. My idea

Thanks in advance,
Scott

| I hate to be a party-pooper, but I would strongly recommend you think twice about getting sand mixed up with Lego gears, axles and motors. I don't know if you could use some other medium like ground up packing material or little foam balls as your (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jan-03, to lugnet.robotics)
