I went with Corkscrew. The automation amazes me everytime I look at it.

I agree. Trackwise, Poltergeist was better than Corkscrew.

Sorry but Trey's mechanical genius puts all of this arduino crap to shame. I'm amazed at what he was able to accomplish

How is Arduino "crap" relevant in this match-up? It's a shame that some people can't be happy with both mechanical automation and computer-coded automation. Maybe it will pass on in time, just like the 'battle between boxes and tubes' did.

I appreciate your compliment, but degrading other methods doesn't make it any better. Personally I think electronics are a much more realistic and clean way of automating, and I really love seeing new innovations using that method. I just like the challenge and the price tag of doing the k'nex-only method.
