So not much has happened to the ride since I have to get a ton of school work done this week. (revisions and re-tests before the quarter is over!) UGH! So i tried using steel's attempted lift on steel force modified to fit the launch and steel, your right... it was an epic failure! The cables kept coming off the wheel and the string kept getting tangled when it came off and took hours to get back to normal. So now i have a new mechanism. But first! PICS!
fixed dip
this three pound weight...
is lifted by this wheel...
and the car is pulled forward but these things with string attached(steels lift modified and better)
and that 3lb weight, v.s. a 1lb car...
So now the launch will be hooked up with a new and improved launch system. Hopefully with a test video with my awesome new camera that i bought! I bought a
JVC Everio HD camera the other day online and just got it in the mail! YAY! It shoots in amazing HD like your watching TV! Now my video's won't look so horrible! I wanted to get a test up with me pushing it, but the camera wouldn't upload properly and i wanted a test with the actual speed of the weight drop. So hopefully soon. But the camera also has 20x optical zoom! Its amazing and keeps it's great quality! YAY!
Just comment to your heart's content!
