For your edification: (warning, .pdf!) I`ll have my crack team of physicists check up on all this for me. I must admit I had a good idea of where I wanted to go, and when I tried to execute it realized (1) I don`t remember much physics from what little I had and (2) I never was much good at it in the first place. So, hopefully, nothing was blatantly abused here. I seem to remember that angular momentum is conserved unless a torque is applied, and elliptical motions are even more special cases. Anyway, the point is pretty simple here…
DON`T SWING THE STUPID REMOTE SO HARD!
I guarantee you that the accelerometers aren`t really appreciating all that juiced-up muscle you put behind that last home run, so get off the `roids while you still have your “boys” intact, if you get my drift. You may very well be confusing the poor things, too, causing the game to do unruly and undesired things. Swings that don`t register, register at the wrong time or virtual swings that register even when you didn`t really take a swing are all possible. That, and you`re just asking for all sorts of damage, whether its to yourself or your belongings (or potentially your former friend`s expensive belongings). Don`t worry, the ADXL330 can withstand up to 10,000 “g”s. The remote seems equally sturdy.
Remember that when the opportunity arises to bury one deep inside your doubles partner`s kidneys.
