   I've worked with these as well. They look nice, and like Steve I have some
modules that can handle them, and some that can't. More interesting (to me) is
that a simple mechanical sorter works great, so potentially you could have a
GBCm that uses both, but easily and reliably sorts out the Zamor spheres (that's
the bigger ones) at the end.

   Oh yeah. I've got to find a place to post my own video/movies. Suggestions
anyone? The NXT DAZLR: US target location on a mobile platform with a 4+ sphere
per second rate of fire. Cuts through minifigs like butter. Yeah...

(...) They are a little bigger and a little heavier. If either of these is a problem for your module, then it's a problem. :) They will work with most of my modules, but not all. However, they are good for shooting with an NXT... Steve (20 years ago, 29-Jun-06, to lugnet.robotics)
