Oh wait, we can make the gear flip with the backward
motion of the 1x16 blue beam right?
That was the idea, yes.
When the gears cames to the end of the Gear Rack, there should be enough
space for the gears to flip around. My idea was that the arm was not
connected to anything else than the axel from the motor. Then it will flip
around because of the motor still running and pressing this arm down towards
the rack.
With a switch on top of this arm you can monitor when the arm has released
and stop the engine if you has an RCX controlling this....

The only thing I can come up with just now is
this:

The arrow points in the direction that the blue • 1x16
brick is moved to
charge. At the end of this closest to the camera
there should be
rubberbands.
When the brick is almost back the small arm with • the
gears flips over and
releases the rubberbandloaded brick and shoot it
forward.

That was the theory, I don't know if it will work
since I have not tested it
yet  :)

I just thought of an idea, haven't had time to try it out but here it is. What if you were to have a sliding worm gear that would wind the arm up when the motor was powered forward and release it when the motor was powered reverse. Like I said, just (...)

  Cameras & RCX Robots, no cables please!
 
Are there any solutions to have a completly autonomous (no computer) camera or web-cam on an RCX bot. How could it interact with the RCX? IR port? Anything else? I just refuse to run a robot with a camera cable attached to it. Rich ___...___ Do you (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jul-03, to lugnet.robotics)
