Hi,
I just aquired some monorail parts and I'm wondering about remotely
controlling the station points.
It seems like you could mount a micro-motor to the station point to get it
to remotely turn.
It seems like an even cooler idea would be to pair that with a rotation or
touch sensor plus a mindstorms unit to automatically have the monorail
start/stop at the station.
Has anyone done this?
Has anyone posted designs or pictures of something like this?
thanks
