The Xtreme Swing

Hey everybody! I built this for Summer Heat. This was suppost to be Extreme Swing at Valleyfair. But after a little bit I figured out it was practically impossible. So I just made one swing. It took about 6 hours to make. Then I spend a day trying to make it semi-automatic. And then I figured out it's pretty much impossible. You need a motor strong enough (drill). But I could not figure out a way to get a drill to switch directions at the right time. So I have to run it with my hand. I spent a lot of time making the car look as real as I could make it.

there is a way to make them swing different ways but it weakens the system badly

I know. I had a system. But half way through the ride. I figured out that it was not possible to do it. becouse the weight of the swings would break the whole structure. So I had to make one swing.
