UK MEET - World Record Attempt

[kaz]

sounds good but will there will be conditions like amount of balloons poped in one minute or so/different types of lasers/ extra optics used other wise you could say get a 200mw red with a big focusable beam exspander on the front and pop balloons 200 feet away but the idea sounds cool count me in

,,,,making sure all have goggles

Blimey !
Who's gonna supply those cus they ain't cheap and I can't see anyone sponsoring us enough to afford free laser goggles (it would be nice though).

well i was thinking only the prople that have googles are neably to aim and everyone else has to bugger off around a corner or a opaque object ( that wont happen though) :P

I'll just squint.
That should do it.

That should do it.

lol well aslong as its under around 200mw it should be safe but to pop that many that fast we will want 3-4w and just sweep it around laying destruction
to the balloons

Hmmm any more of that talk & I'll be tempted to drag along my 10W CO2 rifle.

do it, do it .

If I have space I'll chuck it in the boot.
Will drag it out and demo if asked but the last thing everyone wants is some nutter playing 'clay pigeon shoot' with an invisible laser.
Also it looks like a cat vomited in it - I had a NIMH charger fail & set fire to the internal battery pack.

[andy_con]

haha ill bring my special glasses - eye lids

ohh sounds nasty

Guys

I wonder if googgle are particulary required , rememeber this is BLACK BALLOONS , i would imagine the chances of spurious reflections are minimal . Will need to test that out later in the week

I would think the idea would be balloons on stage , lasers lined up in front of stage so all pointing one direction and ...... blast.

Not really sure if we should bother , seemed a nice idea at the time to add a bit of fun but i dont think the whole groups got behind the idea , likely being seen by some as ....... ach well , thnaks for support guys but not sure if we should bother , dont want to upset or cause concern on the day
