Re: pic: Strong Lift

For some reason, I'm thinking that's photoshoped, judging by the angles of the light on the tetra+student.

What is that building you are in and what are those two enormous cylinders on the right?

Ahh, you can see the ground under where he is sitting.

Good photoshop job tho, probably the best I've seen on CD.

You should have put Justin in the tetra.

Is that a freshman in that tetra?

Re: pic: Strong Lift

I agree, I don't see any big clamps connecting the base of the arm to the stools. Without them, it would tip for sure. Plus if that kid was like that, the guy on the left would be staring in awe, not walking past unamused. Is that floor concrete? If so that kid would get hurt on the fall to the ground and the batteries charging to the left are going to get damaged.

Re: pic: Strong Lift

I think so too, just look at the way the kid is setting.(no suppot at his butt)

Re: pic: Strong Lift

Very funny, but around where he is sitting, there is white patch. This area didn't get cut out well enough in Photoshop. Also, the kid is a bit disproportioned. Good job, though.

Re: pic: Strong Lift

Actually, that is their bot. If you look closely, you will see that the link is their "finished" bot, and the other, was before the two outer arms where attached.

Re: pic: Strong Lift

i call your bluff, unless those benches are lead painted to look like wood, there is no way that it wouldent tip, even for how close the tetra is to the center of the base.


sorry, but my vote is photoshopped

It's the Neutral Bouyancy Labratory (NBL) part of Johnson Space Center. It's where the really big pool that astronauts train in is located. Those Cylinders are space station parts or mockups of space station parts that go in the pool with the astronauts so they have something to play with.

Re: pic: Strong Lift

I believe it's a true picture
I just doubt that the arm would not fall over. If you look really close you can see the Aramid Fibers attaching the top of the arm to the Sky Hooks (tm)
They probably have steel rods in the PVC pipes to keep them from bending or that's a very light student

Re: pic: Strong Lift

100 percent photoshoped

(ps...next time cut the floor out, or make it look like there is something actually holdiong the tetra together.....

Re: pic: Strong Lift

A pro can do ANYTHING with photoshop, they can doctor a photo and totally change it, yet keep it so realistic that it's nearly impossible to tell that they did. One of my teammates created a very convincing image of a nuclear reactor blowing up.

Re: pic: Strong Lift

Photoshopped

If you look close enough it appears that there are 2 clamps holding the pole onto the lift.
