You could use the rope on a thin fusalage connected to a rotater for a reel so I can move up and down

My framerate is fine but my load time is not.

@PBandito agreed, there is something very satisfying about the design, and it's wonderfully put together. I do think collaborative projects turn out the most interesting stuff, this is testimony to that fact.

Thank you @hypnotoad. I just got bored and decided to try something different with the first version of this, and ahappyape suggested that the hand SkipperBing originally created and ape modified be merged with this design, and the outcome is quite interesting

@PBandito I use low quality/medium physics, so would that work?

I really would love to see it have more function and lower brick count so it doesn't lag as much. I was really just playing around with the detatcher rope physics and the trolley on the tracks @ahappyape

It is mobile friendly but it lags if your quality isn't on low@Mkenz

@ahappyape But is it Mobile-Friendly. I have definitely said this before, but limitations suck.

@PBandito the only functions missing are : some way to move it up and down - although I really can't think of a way - unless the rope wasn't a rope. And something for the hand to grab. Gimmie a day I'll have a look - I have an idea to reduce parts aswell

I would like to see something interesting done with our combined monster of a creation! Maybe someone can make it have more function, as far as me this is as much lag as my phone can handle haha @ahappyape
