The breakdown descriptions really help to convey the functionality of this
great masterpiece. Really good subject matter to allow the RCX to show all
the cool stuff it can do. (ha, and all the cool stuff YOU can build)


Heh, thanks.  Not bad either, considering I programmed everything with the
built in software, without using NQC or any of that other stuff.

NICE!

Ooookay, so here's the question:

You have got a bunch of cool MOCs that people want to see at Bricks Fest
this year. Will you please bring this one too so everone can see the action?!

Of course this'll come along.  I'm starting to learn how to build things such
that they can disassemble easily enough to be somewhat easier to transform.  On
this, the tower separates pretty cleanly from the base to makes what's
basically two big rectangles. As long as they don't crumble under their own
weight, they'll be nice and easy to move :)


You could sell tickets per experience!

BTW, great touch having the rotation sensor halt the caridge just before the
fall. That's an authentic amusement ride quality. Bravo.

I'm actually going to make the pause a little longer for when I bring this to
Brickfest.  In order to make the overall ride fit within the limitations of
what my camera can record (my digicam can only take 35 second long movies) I
had to shorten all the pauses.  Still, even half a second is a long time to
torture a minifig!

Thanks

How about a fully automated Mindstorms controlled minifig scale Freefall
amusement park ride?  Sound like fun?

It's called The Gravity Well, and it's my first technic MOC since November
2001.  It seems I'd been focusing a little too much on .space this past
year, so a little change of pace was necessary.  Who knows what's going to
be next...
