Design_challenge_2

Hey all, I came up with the following new challenge: a logical NOT gate.

A bit here is represented by slider, as shown, that shifts from north to south in the horizontal plane and has two positions. The challenge is to complete the level such that whenever you shift one of the two sliders to some side (ie south) then the other slider "synchronises" a bit later by shifting in the *opposite* direction (aka, north). This only has to work in one direction (one slider is the input, the other the output).

You may move the whole up if needed, and you may move the output around in the horizontal plane, but both sliders must be in the same horizontal plane.
The idea is to define binary inputs and outputs in terms of mekorama objects, maybe also make an AND gate later on and then thus be able to build a computer . This is why there has to be some kind of identifyable clock...

It works in two directions. Not perfect though, since they don't move to full positions.

A bit unstable version

@richardfu_ It's not working for me... the pistons get stuck (don't move), the whole is making a lot of noise too; but no functionality...

@Rohan Kumar Hmm yeah... not usable for more complex logic gates . There is no "clock" either. What I worked on did this: The "output" slider (of some gate) is transfered to an "input" slider (of the next gate), which is then processed (as input) and then reset, so a new value can be transfered to it from the connected output. I didn't want to influence you guys with ideas though . Cause I feel there should be a much simpler way.

My ultimate goal is to build a binary counter.

@Rohan Kumar Awesome! Would love to see the insides of this.

Here u go .

@Rohan Kumar wow, even your design works for vice-versa. Moving block back to original position brings counter effect too, great.

@Gepeto
Should be working now

@Gepeto Yeah I noticed this problem and that's why I used some sticks at the ends so that the blocks have a little more room.
