---PADDLES: The paddles are home made, from a synthetic foam rubber type material. It's alot like wetsuit or mousemat material. Unfortunately the website I bought it from ( http://www.cisdirect.co.uk ) seems to have died and disappeared from the web completely. I used 2 pieces of sticky backed foam;one 5mm thick, the other 3mm thick and inbetween was a wooden dowel held in place by the adhesive. Then some duck/gaffer tape was used to strenthen the area around the dowel. There is about 10cm of foam from the end of the dowel to the end of the paddle. I find it best hitting the pipes with the 5mm side of the paddle down. There are some pictures of the paddles in this photobucket album:

ya know, I have seen some pretty crazy, interesting, and odd things in my youtube searching, but this is the most amazing. Kind of giving me inspiration on trying to make something sort of like it, but with lego's! Check out my vids to see what i have created so far.
