Sounds good except what do you do about biology that decides to take up residence in the holes?

- adrianmonk 8y agoI suppose you'd have to clean it regularly. When the crane goes to pick up a block, it could do the optical continuity check then too. If it fails, that indicates that either the block was moved after it was stacked correctly (unlikely but possible) or it got dirty. In that case, something comes along and cleans it. Maybe a rod-shaped brush (like a vacuum beater) that spins. Or a water jet. Also, you can have more than one hole for redundancy. If one of them is clear, that should be good enough. Hmm, or rather than holes through the middle, make them notches or grooves on the side and shine a laser through them.
