In this challenge, you must defy physics. It sounds hard, but I have provided you with some parts that will help a lot. Try to make a cool gizmo, or an interesting form of propulsion. Try to make something that has a physics defying function.

The challenge closes on September 25th.

Contents:
1) The parts.
2) The Rules.
3) The Rewards.

1) About the parts:
Well, first, don't try to spawn the whole thing in. The negative weight blocks make this thing blow... w up.

White: Orbit system. It spins.

Orange: Unstable matter. this stuff will blow up if it touches anything. It might be good in some gyroscope tech, or weapon systems.

Red: Mass Vector Rod. It pushes the CoM around. I have used it to create pitching on planes.

Blue: Lift module. Think of this as a wing. It provides a lot of lift in a compact body.

Yellow: Whiplash Cannon. My most recent creation. It fires parachutes, which vibrate rapidly in an area of effect, causing massive damage.

Some super detachers and negative weight blocks have been provided. Starting from the centermost negative weight block, they weigh -5000, -2000, -1000, and -100 (or -50, idk) pounds.

2) Rules:

You don't have to use any of these parts.

For organization, please have your build be a successor of this challenge. Those who do not won't be disqualified, but won't have a good chance of winning.

Anything goes. XML modding is encouraged.

Please no builds that require me to download a mod. I will not judge a build that requires me to download a mod.

3) Rewards:

All contestants will recieve one upvote.

The top 5 will recieve a number of upvotes IN ADDITION to the single upvote that they recieve.

Spotlight rewards will be used on the contestant's entry.

1st: 5 upvotes and a spotlight.
2nd: 4 upvotes and a spotlight.
3rd: 3 upvotes and a spotlight.
