That looks awsome.  If you read the comments, it looks like the plans that are available from these guys are a rip off, does anyone have good plans for something like this?  Looks like a really fun project.

I wonder how long it takes to load 144 rubber bands...

Who cares?

What matters is how fast you can UNLOAD them.....

Or what percentage break while you're loading it and hit you in the face.

I found another site that talks about this:

"There is no word around on how long they take to load but I imagine it's one by one for all 144 rounds. Since it boasts 560 rpm and holds 114 bands, that's all of them gone in under 13 seconds. So it may be the case of 4 hours prep time for 13 seconds play but it certainly looks cool. Perhaps it would make a good executive toy for the corner of the office ( if you have a PA to load it for you )."

actually looking at what you get i dont think its a rip off. theres a 24 page instruction manual AND some parts...

Except that the plans are for the 72 band version and they make it sound like its for the 144 band one.
