Hi. I'm trying to make a chain (like a dangling vine) of pieces of sticker panels connected by bolts. Pretty standard stuff. They are all thin layer strips overlayed one over the other with bolts. I want it to be semi-seamless, with the vine graphics over each other. But sticker panels aren't affected by gravity(I need it so it actually hangs and moves), and I love the clear effect.. So I attach a tiny piece of cardboard to one of the pieces to drag it down.. And the whole thing spazzes out! All the pieces rip right out of their bolts like they were rubber bands. What am I doing wrong? Do I have to make the pieces the traditional way (one fat layer, one thin)? Is there an easier way to have gravity applied to all pieces so they aren't so.. floaty?

Try movers with batteries going into negative input of splitters and the output going into the movers. Set the power of the top link low and add %s on each link going down. The downward pull of each mover is going to add to the pull of the movers above it, which is why you'd need the gradual increase of power when going down, to equalize pull distribution. You'll need to tweak it to get it even..not sure if it'll work, it might just make the chain form a straight line.. also not sure how to solve the issue of connecters breaking, sorry.. Edit: Scratch the spiitters.. I forgot batteries can have negative percents..

If you glue a piece of solid material to the end of the vine and to the part that you want to attach to a tree or ceiling that will add weight to the sticker panel.

It depends on what you are using the vine for. If you are using it for something to swing on, then I'm not untirely sure. But, if you are using it as a decoration, use wobble bolts instead of regular bolts. This way, it keeps the sticker panel together, pointed in the direction you want, AND you can add a cool breeze effect with the vine gently swinging back and forth. Just tweak the wobble bolts to a low angle and a low speed.. It actually looks really good.

Edit: Scratch the spiitters.. I forgot batteries can have negative percents.. Hm.. That might work if I put one mover on the bottom-most piece. It seems even the tiniest bit of glass RIPS the whole vine down. If you glue a piece of solid material to the end of the vine and to the part that you want to attach to a tree or ceiling that will add weight to the sticker panel. I tried that. Glass, cardboard, styrofoam.. All of them are quite heavy. I'll try a floaty piece.. It depends on what you are using the vine for.

It gets crazy with too many motors. Or do you mean spring bolts? I'll try that too. Thanks fellas!
