55mm E(x60) Class, X985 VIVISECTOR, v1.1.0.8
It...
Has...
Arrived...
I'd like to start off this hulk by telling the story of the Vivisector. Originally, It was but a giant, 60 shot wheel. Then, I got the idea to make it back mounted. I built a casing that wasn't nearly strong enough. I built another. And another. I ended up wasting an enormous amount of my pieces on the shell. But here it is, in all its glory - the Vivisector.
This Instruction will be in 9 parts - The Wheel, The Bullets, The Motor Cage, The Back, The Base, The Sides, The Front, The Top, and The Attachments.

The music at the beginning of your video. Do you know what that's from?
It's Carl Orff's Carmina Burana - 1st movement - O Fortuna. An epic song which I'm learning in the Colorado Springs Youth Symphony. A VERY technical piece for percussion, but VERY FUN!! The only difference is we're playing all 25 movements and performing them not just the first.
But anyway nice job!! :)
Because it takes 6100 peices
I can build it but I'm short one motor.
Seriously, this is legit! Nicely done!
Helpful tip (from film/video major) for any future slow-motion shots: To make the slow-motion shot smoother, put your camera in manual mode and set the shutter speed from 1/60 to something like 1/1000. This will make the video much smoother. However, it will be much darker, so light the room as much as possible (and if you can, open the aperture (Iris) all the way) while doing this. Hope this helps!
I mean u have 6100 pieces WITH leftovers and it took over 6 months with tons of fails, would you be able to do this when school starts? If you can, you either have a really nice teacher or your super fast with homework. Btw where'd you get all those knex i have about 3000.
P.S roughly how many knex you have? Including spacers and those mini pieces.
