please try and use this on other scenes. The Synergy Unit, The TSU is good for spaceships, etc. Best in zero G. :D Please comment and rate.

Well, my collision laser predates this, but I believe you beat me to the flier design. :D

The main problem I've found is that in gravity, if you descend too fast, you need to crank up the hertz or Algodoo will ignore the collision between the spawned balls and the top plank.

Also, with our designs, there is a possibility that the laser(s) spawn an uneven amount of balls before stopping, causing a high density obstacle to grind the flier to a halt.

Still a great idea, though.

Thanks! :D But I did find a problem with the flying. If you turn it around then use the TSU it spins like crazy! D:
I do not know how to fix it.
