Why would you want two halves? Sorry is there is something simple I am missing.

Why would you want two halves? Sorry is there is something simple I am missing. I don't think you want to halves. I think that the disk is one piece, but if you were to cut it in half, that's what you'd find. Am I right?

Yes. The key to the disc is the center ring. It needs to be heavy and return to it's original shape quickly. This will allow it to bounce off walls and keep most of it's forward motion. Again, the key is the material for the center ring, or core. Diving suit glue would hold it all together, making a complete disc. It may need a metal core material. My brain is hurting.

Try heavy rubber for the core material. It would bounce, and it would hold its shape. My dad suggests sheet rubber. And my dad knows this sort of thing. He can build almost anything.

No, if we did it like that, it could seriously hurt some one. I don't think this one would light up.

trekking95 Wrote:And why don't you see if your dad can make one for you?

No money for the materials for one, and no free time for another.

I suppose you could tie it to your wrist with string, but it might get tangled up in something. So, probably not. It would bounce of the walls/ceiling/floor and then come to a stop. I suppose guidelines for retrieval would have to be written into the rules.

Cindy Morgan posted on Facebook yesterday that TR3N is a go. I found out via the very cool YORI LIVES group on Facebook, which I subscribed to. There's TONS of cool behinds-the-scenes stuff on there, i.e., the computer Flynn was using to hack into ENCOM in the first film, was an Apple 3, etc.
