Well, thanxs for the teaser.  I'll have to work on it.

I've been working on the idea that I need to create a vaccuum in the suction
cup, but I can't get the Lego pnuematics to create one.  All the pieces work
off a two chamber system which doesn't suck.  Well it does, just not the way I
want it to.

But thanxs again for a secondary idea.

peace
