Just thinking : might a cool use for Mindstorms and the RCX, have two light sensor bricks facing out of the window and then respond only to quick light intensity changes, to account for day and night time illumination. And use the third sensor input (...) (24 years ago, 5-Oct-00, to lugnet.trains)

Well everybody, I'm back once more with a new pic. Check out my tank cars at (URL) . As you can tell, they are pretty simple and not all that awesome like that 8-wide crane car I saw earlier(kudos to the guy who made that), but since I had no round (...) (24 years ago, 5-Oct-00, to lugnet.trains)

I landed a contract to build a holiday-themed train display for a local department store. Woo-hoo! [sound both the train and I are making] What I'm looking for is an activation switch such that, when mounted on the __inside__ of the glass window, (...) (24 years ago, 4-Oct-00, to lugnet.trains)
