(...) I didn't see any comment from Eric about the proposed parts list. It's around 50 pistons, and 100 switches. Is that OK? And, do we know how big this thing is, yet? Also, I'm going to have to do the Spybot/family thing. We can try to get (...) (20 years ago, 29-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)

I just had a silly, yet kind of cool idea. I'm not sure what you know about the Spybots, but if you have two Spybots, then from Spybot A, you can tell the direction, distance, and orientation of Spybot B. (yes, from A you can tell which direction B (...) (20 years ago, 27-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)
