Date: Thu, 13 May 1999 12:39:53 GMT I like a lot your idea of a "phisical" program stored on a 2 x n plate. You could use one sensor eg on the left side as a sort of "clock" mechanism which marks your steps. Doing so you very precisely know when to read the right sensor which is the actual code reader. If you use round bricks for the clock sensor you may stop the program movement when the clock sensor closes. On the ----- End of forwarded message from Mario Ferrari ----- Try an escarpment for your clocking (hint) since it's fully mechanical. I've always wished Lego made flat plates that were circular with holes so one could make peg gears. Then it would be possible to build all sorts of midieval mechanisms (Viva DaVinci!). ____________________________________________________________________ Three step plan: 1. Take over world. 2.

(...) Jim, a nice suggestion. I love the escapement mechanism. But can't see how this would make us to save a sensor: we still need to know WHEN it's time to read the code sensor, I mean when the escapement is in one of its two terminal positions. (...)
