Its a spinning wheel! (gyroscope)

Sorry!
This Challenge Has Ended.


Challenge : Make a stable Gyroscope that can stand up straight.
Must Post Models By : February 29th.
What Is A Gyroscope? : A Gyroscope is sort of a spinning wheel in a cage that defies physics.(for a Much better explanation go here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyroscope )
Is Lua/Script aloud? : Yes and No, you can use Lua/Scripting to give you details about your Gyroscope, tell what the controls are with Out/Print, And make a small Lua/Script that changes the speed of the wheel. But NO Cheating, where it stabilizes its self with Jets or Airfoils.
Can I Cheat? : No you can not, No Jets, Airfoils, Gravity off, Air off, Or using Weights as the 'Point Of Balance' ( the bottom chip that the Gyroscope balances on )
Does Unbreakable Have To Be Off? : Nope, that is up to you. But you may or may not get more points if it can work with Unbreakable off.
What Does It Have To Look Like? : Really that is up to you, but if you are stuck and don't know what to do, Here is a picture of My Very Unstable Gyroscope : https://i.servimg.com/u/f49/17/19/34/56/gyrosc11.png
How Do Points Work? : You will get Points/Stars from things like Stableness, Size, Design, and Weight.
What Prize Do I Get If I Win? : You can have my Brand New Prototype UFO type aircraft that uses a Gyro and some Jets to control/move the craft. If you want to see what it looks like, look at my pic to the left of this post!
What Should I Do If I Have A Question? : Ask!
How Should I Post My Model? : Same way you post any other model, only put it in this Topic.
Do I Have To Add The Controls With Out/Print? : Look at my signature xD
Can I Make My Gyroscope Do [Insert CRAZY Action Here] : Yes you can as long as [Insert CRAZY Action Here] does not have anything to do with stabilizing the Gyroscope.
How Are You(DarkEye22) Going to Test The Gyroscopes? : I am going to do it in sections, 1st Test is to see how stable it is and how long it will stay stable, 2nd Test I will look at Designs, Size, and Weight, 3rd Test If you added a [Insert CRAZY Action Here] Then I will Test that.
When are you going to Test the Gyroscopes? Most likely March First[b]

Question;
RC only supports the use of 'one' connection. While a Gyro has two on both sides, and multiple levels. Most of us would base our models after yours.

Either, I'll try this since I haven't built anything in a while.

Your Question is more of a comment. xD Do you mean you can't connect two chips together if they don't have the same starting point?


Here is a example of how to post you model

Name : Gyroscope B6-54 (Lets get creative here! XD)
Weight : 1099.77
Chips : 47
Script/Lua : Yes, to tell controls and give a little info about the gyroscope.
Unbreakable : Make Sure Unbreakable is ON
Special : Press Z!!! XD
More Info : Just a basic Gyro not the best, but it works
Info on how to use : Load model and press the Up Arrow before Gyro begins to fall/tilt

  out(5,"Gyro Wheel Speed : Up/Down Arrow Keys")

end
}

Btw, you should add in a bit more for the challenge, I noticed you used weight chips for the 'point of balance'. Though the chips are a flat cube, so you have more resistance on one axes whether it is X or Z.

Why not try to create one to balance on the corner of a chip instead of a edge?

Well I would add more of a challenge, but I can't think of anything to make it harder, :-| although making one that balances on the corner of a Chip is a good idea. :] And thank you for pointing that out to me about using the Weight chips as the 'Point Of Balance' I never thought about that, I am going to add it to the rules so you can't do that so it's Harder.

Oh and have you looked at the Gyroscope I posted? I updated it so it looks/works better then the one that is in the photo

Name : Tove
Weight : 511.52 (809.75 with stand etc.)
Chips : 9 (27 with stand etc.)
Script/Lua : Yes. The model is automated. The script just runs on a timer, and has no input from the outside world.
Unbreakable : Not required.
Special : None.
More Info : You can turn off wheel torque after it gets going, and it still stays up a while. Also, it's named after the toves from Jabberwocky. It mentions that they "gyre", which means spin like a gyroscope.

The gyroscope has six phases:
Phase one: Wait. This gives it time to land after being loaded.
Phase two: Stand. The stand opens up. This holds it so that when it's dropped, it will land on a corner of the base chip.
Phase three: Open. Then wheels open to an angle where they can help.
Phase four: Spin. Two sets of wheels start spinning in opposite directions.
Phase five: Drop. The stand and counter-rotating wheels are dropped. The counter-rotating wheels would otherwise counter the gyroscopic effect.
Phase six: End. The script stops doing anything.
Info on how to use : Load the model. The script will take care of the rest.

i'd just add invisible frames UNDER the surface so that the gravitational center is below the model. totally no scripts at all!

Well I guess RA2lover is the first person to get disqualified xD

EDIT : one week left to make a gyro and post it!

I am going to extend the model dead line to March 10th. But if no one posts a model then DanielLC will automaticly win on March 11th

(Sorry about the 3 comments in a row >_>)

DanielLC Has Won!
I don't fell like there is any need to judge his gyro because he was the only one to post a model >_<
His prize is a new prototype model called the GyroCopter. (look at my avatar for a picture of it) I will PM him a link to PasteBin so he can get it , with some instructions on how to use it.
