Nice one but I agree, the loop needs to be MUCH bigger and I would push the trigger bar much further down so it was only just holding the weight of the platform. Good bit of engineering though, nice one

Thanks mate.

Yeah I am aware of a few issues. The spring that put the tension in th etrap was to weak aswell.

But hey thats the point in building these things. You wouldnt learn this stuff if you didnt have a go.

Cheers
