Don't say what your building to enter!
Too late.. I've seen it.. It's ok. I won't say and I'm not in the contest. Did you PM a mod about it?Hotwired wrote:Believe it or not, I was roaming the web and I came across quite randomly, someone's cannon build log with intent to enter. I'm telling you, he's throwing the kitchen sink into it
been featured on this site already though iirc...
You can use what you want in the -"Innovative Design Build Off"randompkguy wrote:This has been mentioned previously, but I think that it is unfair to limit the building materials to pvc and abs. What about those of us that are lucky enough to have access to welders and metalworking tools. I know personally that I am better able to work with metal than pvc. It holds better tolerances for sliding components, has better machining properties, and can be welded to avoid excessive amounts of threaded fittings/reducers.
I think instead that there should be a maximum pressure limit enforced by making sure that all contestants film the pressure gauge on the cannon as it is filling up. This is not too hard to do, and seems like it should be something enforced on all competition videos anyway...
just a consideration.
It's the penetration part of the contest that restricts building materials.Build a spud cannon or BB gun with something that makes it one of a kind, with a new innovative design idea. Custom made BB guns are being included since there is a section on SpudFiles for them due to the innovations we have come up with for home made BB guns.
The idea can be based off other things, just new to SpudFiles and the spudding world. Must be useful and functional, not just something crazy that does nothing. Must provide a full description of the cannon, how it functions, what makes it innovative, and plenty of pictures and/or video to show it off. Cannon may not be an old previously posted project, it must be fresh to the community and spudding world.
Emphasis on "lucky enough". Not everyone is, and that makes it unfair if some people get such an advantage but others don't.randompkguy wrote:What about those of us that are lucky enough to have access to welders and metalworking tools.
