This may sound a little bit weird, but has anyone ever built anything that
they were actually afraid of? I think I have done just that:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=37672
The Spinning Wheel of Death. BattleBots affectionados might recognize this
as an Lego replica of Jim Smentowski's Nightmare's primary weapon. Here's a
list of things the Lego version has done:
Drawn blood, and not just by scratching. I got an actual laceration with
this sucker.
Launched a 2x4 plate into oblivion. When the wheel came in contact with a
pile of pieces, a 2x4 went flying and I have not been able to find it. By my
estimates it travelled a good five feet and probably would have gone a lot
farther if the wall had't stopped it. Searching is still going on and I will
check to see if I damaged the piece.
I also tested this on a bookshelf because that was the sturdiest thing
handy. The books on the shelf all jumped with the impact, the shelf was
knocked off its bracket momentrily, but the wheel just stopped. No major
damage at all.
And lastly, this thing can saw through good solid cardboard without any
problems.
