    I'd call your ideas more structurally sound but more engineering intensive, so we usually run out of time before implementation. I'd actually love to see sharkydart's duct-taping prowess get a chance to shine. OK, you're in. ;)

    I don't know if I will be doing this.... it might be a possiblity! I did get a degree in Advancded duck tape skills.

    Moto:

    Duck tape is like the force, It has a dark side and it has a light side and for the most part it holds the universe together.

    Come on, people, we need more teams, or else we won't even have enough money to buy the duct tape! I need everyone who's signed up to pick one other person who's coming to the LAN and send him/her a link to this thread! You shall be my MLM network! Bwahhahaha!

    I've just returned from the store. There is now $35 of duct tape in my trunk, just waiting for this weekend.

    Thank you Team Nexlia.

    This was the only event, other than the F@H Walk, that took place. You single-handly made it happen. I applaud you for taking charge and grabbing people into this. While the "Dirty Bastards" did not provide a quality product, I think we still won because we worked together and participated in a great event.

    Thank you everyone that participated!!!

    It just goes to show, duct tape + party = lots of fun!

    Thanks, Q, for your mention - though "Team Nexlia" certainly has more than one single hand! ;)

    yah we need something a little more mechanical next year.

    I'm plotting and scheming for something that might just be a little more mechanical. We might need more than an hour, though.

    Since we will not be full-time gaming, then more than an hour may be fine.

    I had quite the idea that we might be able to work into next year's project. It came to me in a dream. If I can figure out how to do it without any explosions, it might get the green light.
