how much force is needed to stop on the pad? I am planning on using this for science olympiad

I have a 3 yo and 7 yo who absolutely love this toy! They use one foot and the rocket probably launches up about 60 feet or more.

I believe 15 lbs is the limit. I use it with a laptop and my hands on it don't present a problem...there is a spring that can be tightened to adjust the resistance of it moving down.

It is a seven inch pad so that will limit you to some extent. The pad that comes with it is NOT flexible enough. I would suggest going with a meguires velcro back and pad set up. The stock pad is cheap and tends to shift causing you to leave big rubber skid marks on your nice and possibly expensive work. Its junk don't take the chance. The Meguire's pad set up should do anything you need a 7 inch pad to do on this machine. I am very happy with my setup and has worked in every car and situation I have ran into.

There is a slight buldge but I was able to get the cover back on with no problems. I only used it directly on the pad so I cannot answer the second question.

The pad I have doesn't sink in any farther than the weight you put on it. It is very firm.

The simplest answer is, if you need this pad, for any weight, you should probably find a different hobby.

I would say it depends on where you place the pads as to how intense the little shocks are. On the feet, you can run it all the way up to an intensity of ten, but on the shoulders, I could only stand a six. There are three choices, massage, beat or knead. They all have a purpose. Adjust to your own tolerances. The speed + makes it happen more often, and speed - slows it down.

I'd say the R.P.M.'s are too high on this one unless your pad is real thick. A variable speed random orbital would be fine on a low speed.

Ah, yes, this is a little harder to do. I believe it's like a double tap but on the second tap you keep your finger on the pad and then you can drag freely.

None, if you don't over torque it. If its a gyp. Bd. Ceiling it might leave a indentation from over torqueing. Try to position it under a beam.if a indentation is made, the pad is about 2"×3"

The pad is over bound with thread...if you cut it you would have to stop the raveling I think by binding it with something...

I've done 100+ sf will no appreciable wear to the pads. be patient and work your way up to 3k. always use two hands or you get some swirling. keep them wet and plan on a ^huge^ mess. you'll get soaked along with everything in 15 feet.

You can also tighten the belt. That will add more resistance and stop the belt from moving too quickly. That's what I did to mine. The how-to part is in the instruction manual.

I have no problems with my pad. My printer and computer holds it in place. GB NumLockMY I have no problems with it. My computer and printer sits on top. I have purchased 2 and will again. The cost is worth it.

It is alittle bit. I hold on to the bars, and bend my knees (bringing your weight towards your feet). Theres a point where your center of gravity flips the table back to the starting position. If you find it hard I would lower the feet harness (before you begin) so that your center of gravity is more towards feet then your head. That way when you want to flip back it takes less effort. good luck

You just touch the pad - it is sensitive enough not to need any pressure. It will respond even if you lightly brush it with your bare skin. However, it only responds to skin contact (i.e. won't work if you try to touch it with gloves on).

Shouldn't be a problem. It's a fairly solid and heavy pad. I play it on a couch cushion and the bed and it is solid, no movement at all.
