The Short Pendulum as it looks in the game
Chapter 13, Clockwork

Short Pendulum

A swinging weight that switches its power on and off as it swings. One swing takes 1.4 seconds.

How it works

  • It is a bob on a short rod. It is let go at the start of the run and swings under gravity.
  • It is the quickest of the three pendulums.
  • Its power is on while the bob is on the far side of the middle, so it pulses on and off with every swing.
  • The bob is solid. It hits things with real force, but anything in its way slows it.

Tips

  • Pick a short pendulum when you need quick, frequent pulses.
  • Keep the whole swing clear. Build mode draws the arc.
