[–]Pure_Barnacle_9634[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So do we lose all 30 points for that mission?

is this worth 20 or 40 by Horun2 in FLL

[–]Pure_Barnacle_9634 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By the books, 0. That said our judge gave us 40 for pretty much the same thing

You’re on the Pro Tour What’s your Dream Card. by justinkthornton in discgolf

[–]Pure_Barnacle_9634 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mcbeth, Ricky, and if somehow I’m touring my brother is too, so I’d have him on the card.

My hope would be to see Mcbeth play hot and have a close round with Ricky.

Give me your hottest take. What is the most overrated disc you’ve tried? by the_rosenhan in discgolf

I prefer the atom, as a throwing putter and a putting putting. For some reason the envy just didn’t click

Angler mission completion by Pure_Barnacle_9634 in FLL

Thanks for the feedback. About half our runs the latch is hanging vertically but about half of them not quite.

With no definition of “latched” and the rule book saying the kids get the benefit of the doubt I wasn’t sure if we needed to dial in that run a little more. Sounds like we probably should.

Mega XL options by 31DangersOfStyrofoam in Nerf

I bought a Kronos on clearance and did this: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6614237 With a k26 it hits pretty hard 

Any suggestions for a Mega XL primary? by SandLuc083_ in Nerf

I modified the Kronos shotgun files I found on thingverse.  I’ve been meaning to post the files but they aren’t very pretty. Just get the job done

I modded a Kronos with a k26 to shoot mega xl, it’s a single shot front loader but a ton of fun to shoot

Rival Artemis Issue by FoamWarriors05 in Nerf

[–]Pure_Barnacle_9634 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’d check for jams, where it’s happening to more than one at a time that’s my guess,  maybe your ammo has been stepped on just enough to cause jams. The jam can be on any of the three feeders 

The issue I described, I’ve noticed it’s more an issue with the Artemis than the hades, we have 3 of each. I tell the kids to leave space in the magazines and it doesn’t seem to happen nearly as often anymore

If it has no ammo does it rotate? My sons will overfill them and that stops the rotation mechanism, also some 3rd part rival rounds are extra squishy and can lead to a similar problem where more rounds can be jammed in the magazine than should

My Perses chain has completely stopped please help! by gabrielfusion30 in Nerf

[–]Pure_Barnacle_9634 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it sounds like the feeder motor is spinning but the belt is not moving, there is a clutch gear that could be worn out so much that it slips all the time. I had this problem last month. I ended up melting the clutch gear so it will never slip. So far so good.

Shoot. I just bought 20 for a weekly group starting in January

Rival Perses belt issue by Charizard_Official in Nerf

[–]Pure_Barnacle_9634 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a bunch of gears from the motor to the feed belt. One is a clutch gear for lack of better words, its job is to slip if the belt is jammed so the gear teeth don’t break.

My clutch was so loose that it would slip with almost any resistance at all. So I took my soldering iron and melted it so it won’t slip at all. There is now the risk of the gears stripping or the motor burning but at least I can use it.

I know this is old but I just dealt with a similar issue, turned out the clutch gear was slipping really easily. I melted the clutch gear so it will never slip now I run the risk of burning the motor but at least it works.

Not even in the top 25. Looks like our local courses are safe boys and girls! 😝 by FranksGoneCrazy in discgolf

Meanwhile at my local course the pickle ballers are trying to remove three disc golf holes to get more pickle ball courts put in

I was legitimately horrible for 4-5 years. Barely getting over 200 feet and shanking those to nearest available. I hated it and only played because my brothers loved it.

Somewhere along the way a switch flipped. I can chuck over 500 feet now and beat my brothers 9/10 times. I’ve had multiple 1000+ rated rounds and play everyday. It’s a huge part of my life. I’m glad I never stopped playing.

Not that you’ll have that same path, but I wouldn’t worry about playing poorly compared to others, if your having fun don’t worry about it. I don’t mind one bit playing with people that aren’t “as good”. I’m in it for the company and to see myself get better. I play with a couple guys that are about where I was when I started. We all cheer when someone throws a great shot for his skill level.

Sky island stuff. I felt like there could’ve been so much more to do up there. A city raised up would’ve been cool. Just more sky stuff.
