Mechanical XOR Gate (K'nex)

This is the XOR gate I made out of K'nex. It's a logic gate, which takes two inputs (the two grey bars below) and gives an output (the moving green piece on top) based on these inputs. The output can either be zero (the green piece does not move) or one (the green piece does move). The inputs can also either be one or zero by pressing the grey bars (pressing a bar results in a one for that bar). The output of a XOR gate is one if and only if exactly one of the inputs are one. Else, the output will be zero.
