[Tekkit] Picking up blocks from the ground

[medi4]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a way to pick up items from the ground with some sorta machine of tekkit...

why?

In my world pretty much everything is done by computercraft turtles and in the current version of computerCraft which is included in tekkit the only way to get items out of the turtles is drop it (or take it out by hands) and now I'm looking for a way to get in a chest or pipe...

I guess you could use obsidian pipes... If you had programming skills you could make it return to the pipe and unload when it is full and then continue what it was doing :)

you can also use filters to pull items out of the turtles by having the turtle move next to the filter and emit a redstone signal to activate the filter.

Much better idea^

I'm using filters now and if works perfectly, alternativley I could have used alchemical chests with that void ringy in it... but filters works just like I imagined!

Thank you both for helping!

Or, you could use transposers, which are cheaper (don't require gold ingots). transposer can also suck items off the ground, as well as out of inventories (chests, machines, turtles, etc...)

the problem with transposers for pulling items out of a turtle is that they pull 1 item at a time. filters pull stacks instead of single items, so they save tons of time. worth it, IMO.
