Re: pic: Mangled Steel

Based on your caption, I think your problem has little to do with the globe motor and a whole lot to do with gravity and some serious inertia.

yeah, it was probably more gravity than anything, but we had a massive garage door spring on there that kept it neutral. I think it was inertia.

Still, thats pretty wicked awesome. I was going to take it and make a necklace out of it, but a friend of mine won a game of rock-paper-scissors for it. Curse his eyes!
