Can I have all your knex? Ill giv u $5........ok $10 but thats my final offer!

Jun 19, 2009. 3:42 PMOwenmon says:

No offense, ore anything. But I think that this doesn't deserve top 'K'nex" Instructable. I think the K'nex Heavy Cannon, or K'nex Hydra should be the top ible. Again, no offense. :-)

Nov 8, 2009. 12:54 PMTheChemiker says:

True. I_am_canadian's heavy cannons own, and he has real instructables.

Jun 19, 2009. 7:17 PMKiller~SafeCracker says:

I have to agree hydra is better. And the Heavy cannon has been in first place for a long time. Also 100th comment!!!

Jun 20, 2009. 1:51 PMSerial-Cricket says:

Yeah, but the knex heavy cannon probably didn't take a month to build.

Jun 20, 2009. 1:54 PMSerial-Cricket says:

Or sixty hours (about two days). The complexity of the knex heavy cannon does not match up to this. He probably built this gradually over a month with a total of sixty hours on it.

Jun 20, 2009. 2:49 PMKiller~SafeCracker says:

No the cannon probably didn’t take a month but the Hydra took two and a half months.

Jun 20, 2009. 4:32 PMSerial-Cricket says:

So? He may have not worked as fast. He could have ran into more problems and had to fix things.
