Jaws O'Grinding

Description
A 5 minute build to use check if rotors and connectors could be used to connect inventory over to the other structure.

As rotors have a slight offset, a double joint is hard to pull off, as is a single connector arm.

Using two connectors, lock one, set the other free, the magnetic force will keep it aligned if you dont overdo the forces / speed. It should also connects the conveyors at this unlocked connection, rotors transfer the power.

Added a quick robot arm prototype, but the second conveyor arm is blocking the rotor from pivoting :-(
You can verify this behaviour by reverse locking the bottom conveyor arm (or removing it)
The arm now rotates correctly, but the inventories are not connected.
Hopefully this will be fixed soon.

TODO:
- Tweak rotors do they go waaaay slower to prevent accidental destruction of parts in between the grinders
- Double check that a half locked arm actually transfers items

Let me know what you think!

Done, if you can't update this one then go ahead and create another

i was thinking i would post it as a new world, but could give this a try

Not sure if I can add you to the project, I'll try to figure it out.
Feel free to (ab)use the stuff to your hearts content.
A link back here would be nice ;-)

I think I need to add you as a friend before it allows me to add you as a contributor, not sure if that is going to allow you to add to the files here though.

i got to fiddling around with the crane in your world, and i think i got something good out of it.
if it's ok with you, i'll like to post it here in the workshop

True, but I was not sure if the arms would hold during vigorous shaking, so I left them at the current settings.

you might be able to get a better inventory transfer if you use a connector set to eject all too a collecter, that sould solve some problems about geting items from the grinders to a cargo pod.
