Not to bash on you but as a side note. If you read posts by other venders, you'll notice they use full thought out sentences with correct spelling and semi-correct punctuation. I'm not saying I absolutely wouldn't buy from a vender who doesnt use proper english but I would for sure think twice about it.
I think "want" was supposed to be won't. But yes he needs to use ENGLISH so I can actually know what he's talking about.

Yup. Thomas Edison tried over 200 times to make a light bulb. When asked about his 200 failed attempts, he replied "I did not fail 200 times, I just found 200 ways not to make a light bulb." In short it's about trial and error. If it doesn't work, keep modifying it until it does.

i'm starting to think this whole thread is a ruse. All you seem to be doing is just drawing attention. Where are some pictures of simple progress... unless the progress is so minimal and just hypothetical that your just trying to buy time to throw some kinda excuse togethor.

how about some design sepcs... obviously the majority of us on here think what your doing is silly and not worth it. But maybe some insight can swing it to an understandable attempt.

No bolts, no screws, no bs magnets, no tape, no welding, no actual body protection... what about Suction Cups? Come on man, throw us a bone!
