http://youtube.com/watch?v=fPHqk9E8r90 I don't know what the problem is. I'll try with better paint when I can afford some.
I swung by sportsauthority today on my way to play some recball and picked one up since I had a 25% off thing. It's an odd little toy. It's constructed well of softer plastics, which I personally like. It should not be very prone to cracking. It did NOT however keep up with my pilot on semi. I was a little shocked by it so I came home and did a drop test. 200 balls in about 15 seconds is about 13bps. That's sickly slow for it's rating. After drop testing about a case of paint, it will consistently empty in 9-10 seconds. That's about 20-22bps. Much better. It's a pretty nice design and after having experience an egg today, I have to say I like it much better. The egg seems to popcorn a lot more, and is a little wide for my taste. I'd go with an eyeforce if I could get one for 50 or less. After having it open and poking it around, I don't see how it could possibly be worth much more than that with extra eyes. Very curious little thing though, it's built with TWO slots for 9 volt batteries. You can put your battery in either slot, and I'll be using the second for a spare, however it makes me wonder if there's an 18volt revvy eye force on the horizon. Doesn't seem like a good idea since it would basically be an uglier vlocity with a little more capacity. But who knows, I just found it odd. When I finally replace the force with something else, I'll wire a second 9 volt in there and use it til I blow it up. I may also throw some stuff together and let it use two 9 volts simultaneously while only drawing 9 volts of power. Who knows. It makes you want to tinker since it's so cheap and simple. I'm even looking into wiring in some sound activation, whooooo knows. Overall it's a great little box. As always, I'd be glad to answer any questions or take pictures or video or whatever anyone wants.
