 These are great ideas and suggestions. I can now think of at least four different skills that could be derived and refined from this exercise. It honestly just popped into my head as "Ooo, wouldn't it be cool if you did something with this concept," but it hadn't really presented practicality. You all have helped me find some and given me more ideas to play with. That's what a psion community is for, isn't it. Thanks. ~Wolf |

I'm glad to know others are enjoying it as much as I have. I have been playing around with it this afternoon and discovered that, yes, the pressure thing someone mentioned really can come into play. It's awesome! I currently have done a 25 part, but am working on increasing that.

As someone who deals alot with the textures of constructs as a recognition point, how does the number of bands affect texture? Do they get 'finer' the way the woven constructs I do, did when I added more 'strands'? Or does it jsut get more tightly packed?

Now this begs the question of: What happens when you use "Rubber Bands" of differing 'thicknesses'?

Thicknesses or widths? It is really cool. I've mostly done widths. I should experiment more with thickness of bands of programmed psi. This is so much fun!

I actually meant over all average 'materiel' within the 'rubber band'. Though if there's a difference between varrying width and varrying thickness let me know as well. Something I'm going to have to play with when I can think straight.

I will definitely keep you informed and post here as I continue the experiments. Their fun! Unfortunately, I'm too tired to test it out tonight. Family + Game Day crowds = zapped for energy despite the early hour.

Hmm...rubber. Shield. Inner layer: absorption and slight pressure outwards, middle layer: high density rubber? outer layer: thin slippery thing? like jelly or something?
Possible?
Edit: test it by making slimy bouncy ball and see what damage it can take?

Two questions:
What's this have to do with the rubber band ball? (rubber bands are thin streatchy bands made of rubber. some people twist them around one another to form a ball as either a project for the bored, or as an easy way to store them.)
Where would /you/ fit within this solid rubber thing?

I was thinking it was a good idea, but i have no expirience with shields.
The rubber is good attribute for repel shield?

Rodziel... ask that on the shield forum. I'm still not seeing how this at all relates to the topic of this thread.

The rubberband ball construct is not designed as a shield. It would be much more difficult to make a shield based on the concept than an interesting psiball.
