Mike,
Just recently the topic of rubber band gun out of LEGO came up here at the
office and I was thinking of making one this weekend. Your idea sounds good
and simple, but I'm having trouble picturing the design. Could you supply a
pic or diagram? Or maybe just some more verbal detail, it's probally much
simplier that I'm making it out to be or maybe I'm just dense today.
Thanks
