SSC's first zero-g roll tutorial!
This is an EXAMPLE of a ZERO-G ROLL for NEWER MEMBERS.
You guys shouldn't be getting all fussy over every little detail.
The Base
The base should be 11 granites long.
The left side should look like this:
And the right side should look like this:
Don't forget the random green rod on the right side! (You'll be connecting that later.) Actually, the random green rod should be on the other side of the base, but the same distance away from the right side. Sorry for the confusion.
The Pullin & The Pullout
You will need to make TWO of the following steps until further notice.
First, make this:
Add these six pieces to what you just made:
And add the crosstie/green connector with a black hand clip on the end to it:
Now, after you've made two...
Here is one connected to the left side:
And here is the other connected to the right side:
They both attach to the grey 3-Ds that have the second crosstie connection between them.
It will end up like this:
The Next Crossties
You will be making two of these.
First, make this:
Then add the diagonal support to the 3-D that holds the crosstie:
Next, make this section:
Attach both sections like shown:
Last section! Make this:
Flip it over to look like this:
And attach the third section to the first two like so:
The long diagonal support from the first section attaches to the 3-D connector held up by four blue rods.
After you've made two...
Connect them to the base, right next to the existing supports:
Connecting The Sides
You'll only need to repeat the first step in this section.
Make TWO OF THESE flat structures first:
Add the two granites and a green rod to that structure:
Flip the second flat structure over and attach to what you just made:
This is the same structure, put upright and turned 90 degrees:
When that support is in the above position, place in the last empty section of the base:
The Top Support
Only make two of the first step.
Make TWO of these flat structures:
Then make this (the crosstie support):
Now, connect the crosstie support to the structures like this:
Connect it to the middle support like so:
Now you have an untracked Zero-G roll!
The Track
Place the flexis (and third crosstie) on each side of the 0-G:
This makes the pullin/pullout.
Now is the time to connect the crossties with middle tubing:
Then add more crossties in.
Finally, track & shape!
After a bit of shaping, it can look like this!
Thanks for reading!

It's small, but that's to reinforce the suggestion of beginners building smaller.
