What I'm trying to do is inspired by the feeding mechanism of
http://ricquin.net/lego/laurens/bricksorter4/index.htm
I'm trying to feed 1x1 plates into an assembly line. I've built several hoppers
to hold a few hundred pieces each. I've got a chute design so that the pieces
slide down without room to turn or flip. I'm just having trouble getting the
pieces from the hopper into the chute.
My plan was to use a tank tread to dump a few pieces at a time into some system
to get the piece oriented to slide into the chute. But so far the stuff I've
come up has a problem with pieces getting stuck.
Anybody have any ideas/suggestions? Anybody know of anybody doing something
similar? Or maybe an example of someone doing something like this in a real
world factory?
My chute design at the moment has a technic brick stacked on a plate stacked on
a technic brick for the side walls. Technic beams form the ceiling and floor,
They're connected to the walls via the technic bricks. 2x3 plates are used on
top and on bottom to make sure that walls are just the right distance apart,
otherwise stuff gets stuck. The tolerances are pretty picky. The details are
bound to change, but if you can decipher what I said, that's the size of the
target I'm aiming for.

| Maybe a look into actual GBC designs and their approaches to transportation might prove useful (?).
