Elevator
I wanted to prove to myself that I could build a mechanical elevator, and now I can prove it to you. Here is my first prototype of an elevator that can move from one level to the other.
It uses a cage made of support frame to move the player up and down. The cage is moved by frame motors hidden behind the scene. A lever inside the cage lets the player decide to move the cage up or down.
So far the elevator can only go all the way up and all the way down. Levels in between will therefore be passed. To make this possible I'm thinking of using some computercraft like in real elevators for later versions.
The wiring on this one is actually quite simple. I was messing around a bit only to discover my mistakes and that the first idea I had worked fine if only it didn't short-circuit at some other place. All together it took me about half an hour to figure it all out and build the system. And here it is.
Obviously the tower can be made as high as wished, connecting any two levels directly above each other.
