You have to undestand how inspirational this is to me. For the past few
years, on-and-off I am working on building a little LEGO duck assembly
carousel. I haven't made much progress - I've played around with
4-posiotion, 6-position rotary dials, flirted with the idea of a pallet
conveyor (difficult) and a few other ideas running around in my head. The
duck only has 3 pieces and I had a hard time with that! I hvae no excuse
not to build something operational after seeing this creation... anything is
possible! :)
It is of espical interest to me becuase of the industry I work in - I will
have to take this in and show it to the other two designers at our company.
We design and build custom automation and robotics for handling of plastic
parts and assembly of the parts, so this is right up our alley!

Unfortunately it didn't work flawless but I think the main reason (...) (20 years ago, 29-Jan-05, to lugnet.robotics)
