From One Drop:
“For CODE2 we decided to take a different direction in crowd sourcing by making one person’s dream come true as a yoyoer designer. Full process details are here (Wayback Machine Link).
The winner was Jason Rodriguez. This is how he described his design goal:
‘The rationale – I’d like to see the One Drop boys put out something big and wide that’s all catch zone and geared specifically for performance, including 5a and horizontal play, but that’s still comfortable to hold, has a solid IRG; something that integrates the side effect technology and starts with a higher base weight than has thus far been available with side effect yoyos, putting as much of that added weight at the rims as possible.'”
Jason’s Design
In the forums, Jason went on to say:
“Unfortunately, my computer is an old Mac iBook G4 (I hang onto things as long as I can keep them functional. I’ve searched high and low for a free CAD program that my computer can support, and have come up with nothing. If at all possible, I’ll come up with CAD images of this asap.
A big thanks to Chris Rhoads for illustrating this for me. Very minor tweaks aside, this is it:”
