Re: MOAB 2016 (Official Thread)

I'm fine with rescheduling, but I need to retract the days I requested off work, so I need to know asap. Late March and early April is getting a bit crowded for me, with 3 nerf related events going on before the current MOAB schedule. If we do reschedule and I find cheap flights, I may opt for that ...

Re: $19 Action Cams on Ebay

I'll find out when it gets here. Shipping from China/Hong Kong can take a while.

Re: MOAB 2016 (Official Thread)

Airfare has spiked; should've bought tickets earlier. At this point I may be in for the long haul. I'll see what ends up happening as I'm trying to plan for 2 other traveling events right now.

Re: 3D - Printing - new possibilities - replacement - construction - new Water guns - data bank

The host prohibits use of online storage (typically shitty vague webhost ToS so they can claim to offer "unlimited" storage), but if the file repo doesn't grow too large, no one will bat an eye. Not sure what software to use. I'm not exactly comfortable with relying on forum attachments, but it'd be...

Yes; a few of us in the nerf community have picked one up I believe.

Re: 3D - Printing - new possibilities - replacement - construction - new Water guns - data bank

3D printing can be used to create mockups and prototypes, as well as for creating resin cast molds. Using them directly for water wars will result in disaster as the parts are heinously weak and not always perfectly constructed. The technology has a long way to go to produce parts of sufficient qual...

Re: MOAB 2016 (Official Thread)

There's two possibilities here: I either get the days off I need to, or fly in again. I feel that the 10:30 to Rob's is just about at my limit, but we'll see. Most likely I'll still go for the road, but airfare is cheap right now. ($230ish)

Re: $19 Action Cams on Ebay

At this point, I'd probably go for 32 GB MicroSD's unless the issues with 64 GB cards have been fixed. I'm waiting for mine via shipping, after which I'll test it out a bit. A 2nd camera should open up some interesting game filming opportunities, if I ever find the time to edit the footage.

Re: $19 Action Cams on Ebay

I've never seen expensive MicroSD adapters. The cards themselves usually come with a full size SD adapter. The only thing that's been flaky is the cards themselves at high capacities 64 and 128 GB. 2 GB is stable, haven't tested any size between.

The Van James (Snoop Doggy Doge) Soundboard

This started as a joke last summer and has now evolved as a tribute to our friend.

Admittingly, none of the sound clips were sourced from actual water wars, but that may change soon.

Re: 3D Printed Replacement Internal Parts

Are you using a typical home 3D printer with PLA filament? What processes are you using to reinforce? 3D printing is pretty big in the nerf community, and any part that has to bear motion or stress has serious issues with durability. I can't imagine 3D printing alone ever working for water blaster p...

Re: MOAB 2016 (Official Thread)

The nerf event on March 26-27 is likely to be set in stone soon, so we should definitely avoid that weekend for MOAB. (Which would also waste a given day off work for me.) I'll update the Doodle calendar.

Re: MOAB 2016 (Official Thread)

My whole arsenal is working and ready for full primary play, although my 2000's pump handle is down and I never fixed it yet. (I'd substitute it with the re-nozzled 2500 I used at Frozen Fury.)

Not sure if Van will be joining us, but if he does, he's definitely going to be on the same team as Rob and I, lol. Update: I finally had a much needed look at the calendar again. I have a good time block on the Good Friday/Easter weekend, where I get a Friday and Monday off. (I updated Doodle to re...

Re: MOAB 2016 (Official Thread)

I filled out the Doodle calendar. I only marked the weekends, but I should be able to make it around on the surrounding Fridays/Mondays too; I have to see what's going on at work. We don't know of projects until almost last-minute sometimes.

Re: MOAB 2016 (Official Thread)

There might be a nerf event on the weekend of March 12 or 19. (Most likely 12.) I'm thinking April would be better in general but I'm not completely sure what's going on yet.

Re: Ranking the Community/Major Wars You've Attended

I'm down for some MOAB this year. I'd like a visit to where I started community wars and see where I am 3 years later, at least as far as that's possible. Although there's a lot going on this year now and I need to really plan things out and figure out how many days I can take off of work, paid or u...

Re: Stinging streams

I would think that one could quantify this by force over a given surface area (the PSI unit should do), since that's where the stinging effect comes from. This also assumes ranges close enough for stream breakup to be negligible, but as pressure washers show, that range varies. For example, police w...
