Welcome one and all to the Community Construction Challenge, once a week I will submit a new construction challenge to the community. Once the week is over the submissions will be rated in ingenuity, aesthetics, functionality and community popularity (Poll). You are allowed to use any construction material which is not listed as banned for that week but you must make the challenge yourself without following instructions. You may post your submission (With pictures and/or video) in to the topic or PM it to me if you want to keep it private till the challenge is over. Initially the competition will run for 10 rounds and whomever has the highest score at the end will receive a prize, 2nd and 3rd place will get sigbars (Yes this means the first place prize is actually going to cost money.).
Challenges:
Week 1
Project: Rubber band gun
Description: Some form of contraption which can fire rubber bands. Functionality will be scored on ease of use, accuracy at 20 inches, number of shots fired before a reload is needed and reload mechanism (If any). There are no aesthetic requirements.
Restricted materials: None
Round time: 2 weeks from May 30th

Haha. I can remember when we used to have Rubber-band guns made from a small pipe and the finger from a rubber glove, with BBs as Bullets. Good times. :)

This sounds great, does it need to fire rubber bands, or can it use rubber bands to fire some other type of projectile?
If I buy a rubber band gun, does it count? And if it dosen't, can I buy one and modify it?

Orange- N cannot be spoken, or even thought about in my household. If my parents ever found out that I have played N since the cleansing, my life would be ruined. I keep the game in a multi-passworded .rar on a USB flash drive inside a locked boron alloy container that requires two keys to open (I keep one under the 64th hammer in my piano, and the other one in a small section of removable ceiling in the corner of the attic) hidden in a wall compartment lined with aluminium foil to prevent sonar detection behind my 375 kg cupboard, which is bolted to the floor - the only way to reach it is to abseil outside the fourth floor window and use a screwdriver to unfasten the screws holding the secret brick in place on the opposite side of the wall, but the screwdriver must be a specific type like the one I own, since if any other screwdriver comes into contact with the screws, the entire building will explode, as will a seperate charge placed inside the boron alloy container, rendering the USB useless. Even once the container is retrieved, attemping to open it without the arming pin in place (which is kept inside the battery compartment of my Maglite) will cause the water reservoirs lining the container to burst and react with the caesium lining, causing the container to burst into flames - the only way to prevent this is to use the arming pins to shut off the reservoirs with a sliding steel door. The USB itself contains an accelerometer linked to an explosive charge, meaning that if the USB detects its own movement speed as being greater than 5 cm/s, it will explode - any person attempting to steal it would have to move at a uselessly slow speed. Once plugged into a computer, the USB will upload a ghost virus onto it, leaving no traces. Only the right password can deactivate this virus, and if it is left on the computer for more than six hours, it will format all drives.
As you can see, I take my N playing very seriously.
Guiseppi- I'd much rather watch animals get boned in the ass.
Yanni- If it's glad, it's not rape.
Tsukatu- I refuse to use throw-away bags for such a frequent purpose as buying groceries. Instead, I've collected the hair of my two pet dogs and have woven them together into an all-natural, 100% environmentally friendly bag that I bring with me everywhere. And when I buy products that come in glass and plastic containers, I track down the company that packages them and ship back their containers so that they don't take up space in landfills.
Yeah, I use plastic.
Tsukatu- I hear Ebony Online is great, too. Cum save your princess, my lord!
Ska- UR MUM LIKE IS SPICY
