Dave, Flash was very cool to work with, we had a lot of fun doing it. I kind of let them know early on I wasn't playing LOL. We had no time to test it. If you notice the throwing arms broke from the sudden stop. We didn't have time for a braking sytem and the show didn't want one anyway as Da Vinci did not specify a brake on the throwing arm. Steve

Crap, I missed it.  When I noticed it was on, there was nothing left but the credits.  I really wanted to see it. >:(

Just checked for the next airtime in the next week and  there wasn't one. I'll keep checking. Did catch up on the show itself and found it very interesting. From what I saw it looks like you had a very interesting experience with the thinkers and the doers battling it out.
