It was the funniest thing, we were both running and hit this puddle of water and i go flying and slide like 10 feet and then like 2 seconds later she slides up next to me.

Hey, be nice to that kid...i'm sure he didn't mean to do it...
thats awesome.. its like a super huge slip n slide.. OMG.. thats a great idea for next year.. bring a BIG tarp.. and spray it with water.. have team slip n slide matches.. beat the head.. *grin* i now have a mission...
Harrison

OMG THATS A WICKED IDEA!
You know those Slip'n'Slide carpet things?
Its like a big plastic mat that u hook a water house up to, and it becomes a huge long water slide...
My team calls dibs on doin that at the Nat's next year ;)
i posted it first.... pshhh.. idea thief.. orrrrr... we could take the one we each bring... and hook em together.. it'll be kickin

I wonder if the plastic would hold if we welded them together?
If not...ZIP TIES AND LOC-TITE!!!
to go back to another forum... it's all about duct tape!

Duct-Tape is a thing of the past....Get with the times!
hey now.. this is everyone workin together.. we'll loc-tite the ziptie.. then duct tape the edges... its all about everything workin together
Harrison

I suppose the duct-tape could be used on the top to smooth out the connective edges so that we dont cut ourselves up on it when we slide past at high speeds.

haha you guys must be on some serious drugs....wierd ideas!! LOL!

I bet you would be on it more than anyone ;)

Wow, a slip and slide would be fun for next year
it'd be hardcore awesome for next year.... hah.. of course... we'd just need to gank a little water... *Grin*
no no your thinking way way too small, get a bunch of slip n slides in a line and build another robot to stradle the plastic and pull you down, say oh a half mile of slip n slide, now THAT would be awesome, not too much work either.

i don't know about you, but i wouldn't like slidding over the zip-ties, they might hurt. i'm all for the duct tape
HaHa! I win! Duct tape triumphs again! *pure jokes*
*hugz to all as alwayz*

duct tape OVER zip ties... oorrrr.. we can just get ONE HUGE peice of plastic... haha... but the Florida sun would work against us on that one..
Harrison
03-05-2002, 23:00
As long as we keep it wet, the sun is no match for us!
as much fun as that would probably be you guys are crazy:rolleyes: LOL:p

At my Elementary school they would always just use those blue tarps that you have laying around your house but never seem to be in use so if everyone just brought done like one a cut it in half it would so easy to get it really long but you would need more than one hose because it wouldnt provide enough water :cool:

I thought of what kinda plastic coukd work...
You know that stuff that u put up in your basements over the insulation? That stuff is cheap, comes on rolls, is smooth, and its pretty tuff stuff too.
I'll bring the stuff down next year....someone remind me tho...lol
only problem i see with this is that depending on how long it is it will need like a hill to work otherwise you would lose momentum to quickly and it would stop after just a few feet
Harrison
05-05-2002, 13:05
I thought of that too...Maybe there's a hill we can find at Epcot? lol
But, even if theres no hill...All you need to do is get a good run at it and u will go a good ways...assuming we have it wet enough and all...
if it is not wet enough i dont want to think about how muck pain someone would be in! OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :( LOL:D

Good luck finding a hill in Florida big enough for the Slip n' Slide. I'll continue working on Railgun to accelerate a single rider across several miles of Slip n' Slide and potentially into orbit :D. I just got figure out a way to lower the temperature of the rails to 138 K. Does anyone happen to have a material that superconducts at 99 degrees Fahrenheit? That would make the entire process much easier... lol
You could make a rope system that propels the person accross it, kinda like a ski lift...
The only problem is finding an electric motor powerful enough to propel several people on this 'ski lift' at high speeds (slow would be boring!)
You could feed the hose into PVC piping and drill holes in it to feed water constantly to the slide.
Unfortunately I won't be here next year :-(
EDIT: Better idea. Rig the giant slip n' slide down the bleachers! There's plenty of room, and you just need something to fill in the spaces between the steps... like sand bags or something... Then just pipe the water up to the top and run it down the slide! Unfortunately people have to stand there, and we don't want a lake forming down by the seats (or do we...?). Then again, you could put one of those cheap kiddie pools at the bottom with a sump pump to pipe water back to the top...
Hmm... I wonder how much weight those air conditioner thingys can hold.... You'd just need a really tall stepladder and something soft to land on at the bottom....
Harrison

Hmmm, you definately could use the bleachers...
But, you would need A LOT of sandbags...Maybe just planks of wood? Something flat that the slide could be put on...
It would be messey tho if u ended up on the bleachers...lol
you guys are just ASKING for lawsuits and hospital visits..
