Am I right? ... ... Darn double posts! I really need to get out of this habit...if only there was an "Edit Post" button so I could just edit the previous post...

Did you use zipsprings? Zipsprings in a Type 3 Amoeba (type 3 as in "the type 3 one described in sodaplaycentral's tutorial") will mess it up, at least in my experience.

This thread was over 2 months old, so you should not have posted in it. Please read the forum guidelines, found at http://sodarace.net/forum/guidelines/index.htm Oh yes, and welcome to the boards!

Mray1031 »» models Re: Intriguing Items of Discovery   posted: 26-May-07 22:28   »»  Just a thought.... Because the sides are zip springs, all the sides have equal pull to keep their original form, regardless of how far they are stretched. If they all exert the same forces, then they should cancel each other out, making the force 0. Now that there is no force being exerted by the sides, the only things that dictate shape are the diagonals which, because they are equal, force the polygon to keep perpendicular sides.

edlinfan »» models »» homepage Re: Intriguing Items of Discovery   posted: 28-Jun-07 18:24   »»  Mray: Your idea is plausible, but you should have posted this in a new thread, instead of reviving this one. It had been inactive for over a year! lorcon: Post it in the help thread. That isn't particularly relevant to this topic.

lorcon »» models »» homepage Re: Intriguing Items of Discovery   posted: 29-Jun-07 00:32   »»  sorry, its hust a lot of people where trying to figure out how to make them and stuff so i decided i try it... i also figured out that if you play around with it for a bit you can turn a tension spring into a suspended (even with half gravity) windmill blade type thing. i am sorry i dont have the link but since i did not think it usefull i deleted it >.<

matthew102000 »» models Re: Intriguing Items of Discovery   posted: 29-Jun-07 19:58   »»  iv mae a bunch of those before. i just didnt think it was special. you can make them with the fllg. just put 4 masses for the flex loop. its pretty imple. matt wuz in yosemitie
