Re: Using a body part for a kicker?

It wouldn't be COTS - no one would be able to supply more than 2, so there wouldn't be sufficient stock to qualify as a vendor.

Re: Using a body part for a kicker?

OK, love the humor, now let's see if we can turn this into an actual, usable idea.

Instead of stimulating rotting human muscle, try using "Muscle Wire". This will take a bit of planning, but not impossible. Next you will just need bones and joints. Hmmm, what would YOU use??

Re: Using a body part for a kicker?

I hope this isn't going to be my leg.

By the way, you would never get through med school if anyone "saw" this.

Re: Using a body part for a kicker?

hmmm...it would probably be legal to use a severed leg. however, while you're using a severed leg, you might want to also cut the calf muscles short, so you could at the same time, theoretically increase the jumping capabilities of said leg. i wonder what Jigsaw would have to say...

The thing is that the single "vendor" you...um...acquired is out after one leg, because the second would be a different part similar to how right and left window motors are different. Although if we want to settle this once and for all I say we consult the FIRST Q&A. I don't think anyone has asked this yet.

Re: Using a body part for a kicker?

You guys are going in the wrong direction. A kangaroo leg will give you more kick than a human leg. Try contacting the zoo in your area, they sometimes have spare legs to donate. That's how I got one for my Battle-Bot last year.

Re: Using a body part for a kicker?

The real question here is about how hard it would be to convince an inspector that the stimulated muscles are not acting as a solenoid actuator. Any inspectors care to conjecture?

A severed leg may be illegal but you might use one just for kicks

I know of a few firsters who would give their right leg for a good kicker
