In parallel with James' Elastic Band Turret build, we were building a robot today. I came up with a slightly different elastic band shooter that uses a servo with a hexapod leg to raise and lower the body for vertical aiming - rather than a servo holding the turret.

@DJ when you first released Revolution and ez bits I thought to myself there isn't much variety of ez bit pieces. Can't do much with the limited selection of ez bits. It's no Lego, that's for sure .... I guess I don't have much imagination because the variety of robots that you guys are creating with ez bits has really surprised me. I was wrong... Lego who? What? LOL
Now more than ever I hope you guys put together some kind of ez bit "grab bag" or "booster pack" and put it in the store for sale....
The thing is, I do have the ability to 3d print ez bits, but I want the "real McCoy"... 3d printed parts no matter how well you print them or what printer you use they just don't compare to their injection molded counter parts....
Here's a good one! I mounted the turrent on Six - he's ready to shoot Alan
@DJ Well now you went and blabbed... No chance for a surprise attack now. Alan is gonna' know it's coming... Get Jason instead. He's probably on the phone with China, he'll never see it coming...
Hey, you'll shoot your eye out with that! eek
LOL, You guys have way too much fun at work.
More elastics = More fun!
@DJ.
LOL, I love these elastic band shooters, especially the multi-shooter. But I think they were upstaged a little by JD in the backgound. "I beleive I can fly", that cracked me up.
last video,love it how it looks and how fast it turns left and right. i want one for my collection,any news what he will cost?
