Lets put it this way, there are -many- different ways for it to go wrong :)
I have a working unloader, rotary type, with mindstorms controlling it. I
really must try and finish the program, then video it in action. 5 Pnumatic
cylinders, 1 motor are required to make it tick (by hand, 2 more motors for
mindstorms) I'm only using 2 sensor inputs (3 touch sensors), and all three
motor outputs (2 new motors, and a micro motor) in this one. My coal loader
used 2 motors and all three sensors, although I now know how to get it so that
I would only have used 2 sensors, leaving me room to run a second program that
only used 1 motor and 1 sensor at a time.
