>  HanoiSolver picks up Lego 'discs' and moves them between three
>  different 'posts' to solve the Towers of Hanoi puzzle. The program
>  is capable of solving for any number of discs between 1 and 5. The
>  bot has a pneumatically powered claw which travels vertically on a
>  forklift-type boom to grab the 'discs' and pick them up.   
> 
>  In the classic puzzle, the posts are located in a line, but in my
>  version they are located in a semi-circle: the entire grabber
>  assembly rotates on a large Technic turntable to transfer the discs
>  from one post to another. The picture below shows the main grabber
>  assembly, the 'discs', and the 'posts'.
