Re: Interesting/Cool Scaling Mechanism Designs

This is just friggin brilliant. The concerns on pneumatics is compressed gas. This has very little energy and I would be surprised to see a judge pull the plug. One lesson most successful team have learned is push the rules to the limits. I'm sure the Cheesy Poof mentor is saying the same thing I am, "why didn't we do this?" This is extremely clever. I can see all kinds of cool cheese cake solutions here... Climbing and defense. I may have our kids cheese cake some air blown curtains for defense at Championships.

If I was a judge, I'd give these guys an engineer in excellence award for their creativity. Bravo!!!
