Launching Squids


Turakii #1 Lavasurfer

Carapar can do it, can you?

 

Launching squids is a snap. Of course, if you would rather keep your squids healthy and whole, you might want to be more careful while launching them. Treat them with respect; the neck they go for next could be yours.

 

I don't know if it'll work for anyone else, but this is how I launch them:

I watched the instruction movie on bionicle.com, and they launch them completely differently than I do. If you have time, do you want to test my way of launching and see if it works for you? Let me know your results!

 

Oh, and while I'm on the subject, here's today's random question:

 

What is the farthest you have launched a squid, and what is the least farthest?

Yeah, I knew that, but the pitiful fools among us probably didn't. :P

 

Farthest was I believe around 19 feet. Shortest was it stayed inside the launcher. :P

Ooh, thanks for the tips! ^_^

 

Most farthest was probably about 7 feet. Least farthest was around -5 feet. :P

 

...

 

No, folks, I'm serious.

This is how I launch my squids too, and they go pretty far with not much pulling pressure. I havent measured, but I got one to shoot the length of my hallway. You can get pretty good accuracy like this too. I have hit targets square on with this method. Helps too if your squid aren't brand new and sticky, being shot a few times.

Farthest: Half-way across the kitchen.

 

Least Farthest: Barely out of the launcher.

 

I tried it your way. It worked good the first and third time. The second time it just went straight down.

Lemme see if this'll help me out. I've only gotten my squids to go about a meter, which isn't all that far. Either that, or it just stays on the launcher. >__<

Farthest: About a millimeter.

Least Farthest: About half a millimeter.

 

Seriously, I have tried every possible way, it just doesn't work for me.

It vorks! It vorks! You're a genius, Turakii! ... but you're still weird. :P

 

Farthest: Into my cats side, which was across the Entry and the Livingroom.

Least Furthest: Into my birdcage, which was an inch away.
