> Any details on the gondola system? Any pictures which show it more?
The gondola was created by David, our youngest member (16 years old).
Awesome creation! Unfortunately, David is not online, so I can't give
you contact information for him. The gondola had two cars mounted on
a fixed length of string. No tensioners or springs were used. A
light sensor was mounted at the bottom of the tram-way. When the car
crossed it, the motor would stop, wait 5 seconds, then reverse
direction. Eventually the other car would cross the sensor, etc. It
would take about 10 seconds for a car to go from top to bottom.
Looked really great.

- Bottom Station. David left part of the roof off to show the
workings. You can see a white light brick at the lower middle of the
picture, with a light sensor opposite it, across the tram-way.
