Wow... That looks quite formidable, I dont have near enough experience to build anything like that. Was time the only thing holding you back from a perfect score?

I see how you are flipping the pennies but how are your separating them into the rings and organizing them? Are you just pushing them around or?

Hey windu,
That's a nice arm, and I could even tell as soon as I looked at it that it wasn't the master plan you've been hinting at from all your posts this year. I had a question about the carbon fiber you use. I just saw the link your coach posted on the EV forum to buy it, and I was wondering what your experience with it was. What size do you use? How strong is it? How much does it weigh? I'm not looking for exact stats or anything, just what you think about it. We've been using threaded rod that's like $1 per meter, but it's pretty heavy and we get a lot of sag (which I'm sure could be eliminated with better design, but who has time for that). Have you used any kind of rods or building material?
Thanks!
