Lego Factory controlled by BS2

I was very board on labor day so·I thought it would be fun and a challenge to build an assembly line made of legos. So·I climbed in the attic and and pulled out the legos and while building that·I was putting ideas together for what is it going to do. Alot of ideas were scraped due to having not enough motors and servos.

Took me since 2:30 to 8:00 for everything thing to be completed, legos always had that problem of·I need this one piece that I just can't find.

Original idea was to have a crane put somthing in the vat and next station would glow red for heat then a scanner would rotate and then the fan.

hope you all enjoy.
I had a great time building it

    Cool project. I would recommend posting any code and detailed schematics if you have them. I'm sure those interested in Process Control would want to see that. Take care.
