lego binary counter

this ones old I've had it for months, this is its second recording
no counting errors, just receiving errors
it counts dropped marbles up to 63
with a over flow tray it can reach the 100s
just not in binary

Nice implementation - I like the gate design, that's difficult to do and yours seems to work rather well. The bottom of the gate is clearly a "Technic triangle", but I can't tell what the top of the gate is made from - 1 1x2 brick stuck studs-down into a 1x5 studless beam? This is a tighter (smaller) implementation than I thought you could get using such large gates - very nice!

No seriously - this video is so awesome I am sharing it all over again now that I have twitter. I showed it to my kids soon after it got posted, and it has been a great inspiration to my littlest mini-me.

@blokcube I'd love to see it - I've been working at some alternative gate implementations myself. The ones I used on the Digicomp II are still the most reliable in many situations, and the simplest, but there are plenty of variations.
