Thanks for the reply. If everything you say is true, I might use multiple white
clutch gears on one axle, gear them to a differential and use the difference in
torque to trigger a lever- which can activate the touch sensor. It sounds
better to keep it as mechanical as possible unless an electrical solution is
simpler.

| (...) Come to think of it; if the difference in torque triggers a switch, that switch might as well trigger the off switch to the blade motor. The whole thing could be done 100% mechanically without the Mindstorms kit. Bummer. Oh well; that kit will (...) (18 years ago, 31-Jan-07, to lugnet.technic)
