It works, obviously ;) That was the point of building it! I will try to make a simple movie soon.

ahah :-) Thanks for translating me that. It was just curiosity! Everything was built for fun, but that's not a bad idea! :D I get nervous when PLUG members ask me to try it. ;) I need to be always there close to the machine, at least! Hm, well... but if I'm not there and something goes wrong, then I can blame them :-D

Pawel, I also saw that blog, but I haven't found any polish translator yet |-/ :P

Thanks for your friendliness! Actually, I was not used to visit this site. It was told me to put here my MOC! :) As said in the discription, I took about 3/4 months building it, but pieces and ideas has come a long time before. Programming was done during and after construction. And as you can imagine, I'm allways developing the program, solving some problems, cause it's never 100% perfect, but I'm working on it! Coins are detected through its size and conductibility(?). Calvin, I am a student of electronic engineering, first year ;) Everything is my work, but it's not as difficult as you can think! Just a few resistances connected to input ports to get different values when coins do the connection. Keyboard works the same way!

Hello all, I am Ricardo Oliveira, member of PLUG (www.plug.pt) and a Mindstorms fan! :) This is my new MOC: Brickshelf Folder: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=229618 This new MOC comes from my previous work: Smart Candy Machine. Since I have become a member of PLUG, I was encouraged to try a better and bigger one. This time, it
