Build a hopper minecart line that loads, travels and unloads on its own.
Orders are piling up. Build a robot cart that loads itself, rolls across the Lab and drops off the goods.

What you’ll build
Build a warehouse where a hopper loads a waiting cart, then launch your delivery drone downhill across the Lab. At the customer's end, a hopper under the rails empties the cart into a chest and a lamp says the package has arrived.
Finish line: Your delivery drone loads itself, rolls to the customer, unloads and lights the arrival lamp.
Bonus challenge: Add a Return button and a downhill track back so the drone heads home for the next order. Can you run 3 full deliveries without touching the cart?
You’ll need

You choose

Stuck?
- Cart not loading? The warehouse hopper must point down onto the cart's waiting spot.
- Cart won't launch? Starting from a stop works best when the track goes downhill.
- Not unloading? The cart must stop directly over the hopper under the rail.
