That's what my grandfather used to do with our presents at christmas time. I would get hit with a new basketball and he would just laugh and laugh. I thought he was being mean, but then I guess I just had some growing up to do.Tural wrote:Maybe there was an elaborate booby trap set up so that as he walked in, he tripped a wire, released the pin, and the game swung down on a hinge to smack him in the face.DrXThirst wrote:Buying a game ... scared you?

designed an interesting joint mechanism that is not hampered by surface friction, however air friction still is a factor (lol perpetual motion). Also does anyone know where to find a person or company who could machine metal parts from blueprints, technical drawings, pm me if you do because i am having a hard time trying to find this on google.
also yay xkcd

yea the "arms" come to to circles that are interlocked but use magnetism to just barely levitate so the big circle doesn't rub onto the smaller one. I could try to make a really ugly drawing if you like. Oh actually realized that there could be a small amount of surface friction.shadowkhas wrote:So it's not touching anything?CompKronos wrote:designed an interesting joint mechanism that is not hampered by surface friction
In the end there is no friction (or very small amount) with the up and down motion of the joint.
