sounds good, I can't wait to see the results. As for the name, Kenn's Kam sounds like an great choice.

Bad news guys.... They want me to hold off on the Beauty Pageant so it goes live along with the release of the destruction results, so you'll have to wait a bit longer. Frown

Good news is that it means I need to get the testing done sooner, so maybe its not a bad thing.

-a.

it would seem to me that that could skew the results of the beauty pageant, because people may have performance in mind even if not consciously. It would be more fair to have the beauty pageant before the destruction results come out. even if you don't reveal the results of the beauty pageant until you have the other results

Yeah I hadn't thought of that but I bet its true. even if a cam looks beautiful (like mine does) I bet people will vote me down after it breaks at like .02 kN.

OK, this is not true since my cam looks like crap and I have no chance of winning the beauty pageant either way, so what ever adatesman wants to do is fine with me.

WHAT??? ANOTHER WEEK??? You’re killing me, you’ve gotta give us something. I was figuring the BP would hold me over but the anticipation is killing me. Ok, do I sound like a cry baby yet? Nah that will be fine but I am going to pout a little more…

I'll bet the delay is so that j_ung and adatesman can go climbing on all our sweet cams before ripping them to shreds. at least, if I got my hands on a giant carbon fiber spider man cam, I'd have to run it up a nice offwidth!

No it’s black anodized 6061. On the face I did what we call a prevandalized finish. It puts multidirectional scratches on it and with the black anodizing it looks more stringy.
