How de do dat?

[bigmack]

All the real McCoy using compentents of the car but I can't figure how the tires go up.

My guess is flat springs under the tires - watch the second tire after it hits the third.

I had to look it up. It's even simpler than springs. I want to try it tho, just to verify.

[bigmack]

Don't tell me it's weights inside the tires?

[chickenhead]

thats what they say. At first I thought they were making too big of a rotation for that, but after looking again it's less than half a rotation..so it could be. Getting them to stay put in the first place would be a bitch, the weight would have to offset perfectly.

[bigmack]

The weight would have to drop and "stick" as the tires move very little after the initial push.

CH,

I think you got it --- the 2nd tire supports that more so than the spring theory :) . I'm an EE, I don't understand those mechanical things much :lol: .

I struggle to set one coin on it's side. This is herculean!

Reminds me of the guy who used to appear as an occasional guest on the Tonight show with domino layouts, multiplied by a difficulty factor that I can't begin to calculate.
