egg_uk Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 great idea, it would look really good in a contest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalachiMcMullen Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 SWEET. The question is, would you be able to retro-fit something similar to regular grippers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Eaton Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 That is freaking sweet man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acorn Posted June 5, 2009 Author Share Posted June 5, 2009 great idea, it would look really good in a contest That was the idea exactly SWEET. The question is, would you be able to retro-fit something similar to regular grippers? I could retro-fit BBs like I do with my adjustables. IMs and others would be way too much of a pain. That is freaking sweet man Thx John. I should get some knurling on it soon. knurling tool should be coming in today for my new lathe. - Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crobb1320 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Terrific idea Aaron.That's really cool .Joe Muguvro had rigged up something similar only it was a buzzer not a light,and it worked well for contests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acorn Posted June 5, 2009 Author Share Posted June 5, 2009 Terrific idea Aaron.That's really cool .Joe Muguvro had rigged up something similar only it was a buzzer not a light,and it worked well for contests. I've got some small fit in the handles size buzzers as well as much brighter LEDs on order. Gonna try both. I'll bring a couple of the prototypes to Chad's comp as well. - Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kormaz Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 That looks awesome Aaron, it would rule out any doubt when attempting a close Something "universal" to all grippers would also be great but what you've done there is very innovative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Way too cool. Like others have said, great for a contest. The possibilites are endless for noise, lights, fireworks. A+ on this project young man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightyjoe Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I can't view the video. What's up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madss Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 That is a great idea, no question! I think a Mr. T voice that yells " closed fool' would be a nice addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acorn Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 That is a great idea, no question! I think a Mr. T voice that yells " closed fool' would be a nice addition. Thanks I'll get right on that. -Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gripmaniac Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 That is indeed pretty cool. I suspect someone will commercialize that in the future. . . .better get a patent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lol999 Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 You can also aim the laser in your competitors eyes and blind them. easy win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shippling Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 fantastic idea Aaron, brilliant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAU1985 Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Now that is AWESOME Aaron, you should patent that idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightyjoe Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 If he don't it will be in the IM catalog within 2 years. Count on it! I wouldn't have dare psoted that until I had a patent pending. No way! It's now open to the "FREE" market for the taking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Piche Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 They would have to know the design. I assume there just needs to be a "touch" of the handles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Too Tall Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 That is WAY COOL :rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAU1985 Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I don't doubt it... even to write out the design on a piece of paper, how you set it up and the basic idea of it then seal it in an envelope and mail it to yourself. Wouldn't the date delivered stamp without the thing being opened be a form of copy writing of an idea? *shrug* Aaron, get that thing patented!!!!

egg_uk Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 then you could license it to ironmind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odin Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Brilliant idea Aaron! Your invention will really add a lot to grip contests: for contestants, promoters and spectators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teemu I Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 I agree with others, absolutely great idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule92 Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 I don't doubt it... even to write out the design on a piece of paper, how you set it up and the basic idea of it then seal it in an envelope and mail it to yourself. Wouldn't the date delivered stamp without the thing being opened be a form of copy writing of an idea? *shrug*Aaron, get that thing patented!!!! Yes, a poor mans patent/copyright, they hold up in court because its proof that you had the idea first. Do that at least then work on a full patent if you intend to carry this out to its full extent. Very awesome idea Aaron!! I always knew this kind of thing would be cool but I don't have the technical skills like you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acorn Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share Posted June 7, 2009 Thanks everyone. I got the lightup assembly done and it looks pretty cool. Just need to finish the knurling and I take another video. - Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
