It's not finished yet, I still have to do details, and I'm planning on automating it with an arduino:)

The yellow gear stands a bit out though, do you have a black one instead?

That looks pretty sick and the tubes don't bend at all. Good job
Thanks!
Wow... super realistic and very smooth running. I can't wait to see this automated with the Arduino! No bending at all, and very strong overall.
Yah thats my goal:D
It's amazing bart! But how are those rods holding up all the wieght? I snapped 3 rods in a few days on Xtreme Swing.
It are all black rods, they are so much stronger!
Also, counterweights take lots of G-forces off.
WOW that looks so cool! This is really awesome and will be even more awesome with automation
Thanks! And yeah, automation will hopefully be awesome!
I really like the tube supports, they look great.
The yellow gear stands a bit out though, do you have a black one instead?
Sadly enough I don't have black ones:(
I will make a big base from snowflakes though, so you probably wont see them.
I don't know, but the real one doesn't have side supports does it?
You know thats impossible to do with knex, there aren't any stirdy enough axles.
So guys, today I will try to make a nice base to it, although there's a pretty strong chance that I will sleep all day, since I feel like doing that.
