takes me back to my knex days. i used to make all sorts of retarded contraptions like that. my crowning achievement was a design for an offroad suspension with travel equal to the vehicle's entire height. i made elastic guns too. me and my friends would have fights with them. i had a sniper rifle that could shoot about 50 or 60 feet with those big industrial elastics.
its not that easy ill tell you that... the stress everything is put under means reinforcing a lot, which adds weight. not to mention the fact that knex does not make good firing mechanisms. any stress on the pieces will just pull everything apart... so it either has to be really big, or two or three pieces at most. anything else adds too many weak spots.
i also made a bionic arm. with the effort of two fingers, and some nifty lever action, i could punch holes in cardboard, and once accidentally in my arm.
yep... that takes me way back... like 8 years ago now. i dont remember how i did it, and i really cant believe it anymore either. but hey... a 10 year old can do anything with half a day to waste.

I dont think that it is retarded lol I mean when I was 8 I used to make all these sorts of things and if I didnt I dont think that I would be on this forum now becuase the majority of my creativity comes from these activities when I was younger!
I though it was well cool lol

his trigger mechanism is very cool. It allows him to have multiple bands on each barrel. Very cool design. Now where are my legos?
*goes rummaging around in the back of a closet*
Lego good times. I was supper good one year and my parents bought me the lego mindstorms kit which lets you build a robot.
Also my parents took me to legoland at windsor when we went to England when I was young. All the English school's where In so I had the whole park to myself aside from a few japanese toursits.
