I am building something from the 8889 Technic Idea Book. There is a ski
Gondola using the old 4.5 Volt motor(I think). You know the one with
the 3 C batteries in a round grey tube?
Anyway they built this gondola that would climb on a string up a 45
degree slope. Very cool.
I had to widen the whole gondola to hold the Mindstorm controller and
make the undercarriage a bit taller, so I could get at the controls.
It worked great but climbed the line slowly. Like one foot per minute.
So I had to change the gearing to make it climb faster. Now it can
climb 6 feet high at about 45 degrees in about 45 seconds. Very cool.
Now I must attach front and back touch sensors so that it can climb up
and down unattended.

P.S. So what projects are you working on with your Mindstorm?
