James,
Thanks!
The tripple loads the hoppers by moving back and opening the trap door. I'm
planing on automating the pickup and delivery. I was thinking of putting a
sensor in the cart at the top so when it is full it whould stop and only start
when there is no hopper present.
Logic -
If no hopper - run till cart is full.
If hopper exists - pause loading cart and dump cart
Back to the top -
I have to by a mindstorm kit and start planing.. (Work in Progress.)
Thanks
Jim
