Description:

The machine is used for peeling of vegetables ... cucumbers, carrots and white radish (from poverty and large also probably handle)

The design has 3 engines -- 1 NXT controller, 1 NXT touch sensor and a touch sensor RCX.

Sensors:

RCX - signaling a knife in a raised position

NXT - sync detector machine table

Engines:

A - turnover vegetables

B - Move the table

C - Raising the knife

Knife in the lowered position is pressed through two pairs of shock absorbers (in case we need to increase downforce by exchange springs in yellow). Engine C is used only for lifting the knife during rotation vegetables and during the passage of the table to the starting position."

This guy doesn't seem to be bothered with Lego getting dirty. And it looks like a time-saving machine. Does it also work with potatoes ?

This is not my type of thing...but it gives me a smill on my face and that is what it's all about...

I like it a lot...

And it looks like a time-saving machine.

It looks like you don't have much practice in the kitchen.
