Thanks everyone for the great feedback, it's good to know I'm not the only one
who likes it :)
To answer some of the questions... the circle is the most reliable, never even
lost a ball, but the stairs and the rocker are just about as reliable and
definitely the 2 fastest and coolest machines. (I love how the stairs make it
look like the ball is rolling up hill!)
The elevator, although slow, and not real interesting to look at was probably
the most difficult because I wanted to get to change directions at the right
time without having to use the Mindstorms. Just because it was hard, I really
like building it.
I'm glad people like the train. I wanted to take a different approach than I had
seen, and again, instead of using Mindstorms to stop it I wanted to try and make
it all mechanical in function. Had some really lofty ideas at first, but as you
probably simple is usually better.
Anyhow thanks again, and I'm looking forward to contributing more :)
