In yoyo history, there have been many changes… for instance we have gone from fixed axle to ball bearings, imperial shape to the wide wing shape, wood to plastic to different metals, we have explored light up and glow in the dark yoyos, and even tried to motorize them… some changes have become their own styles like offstring and counterweight… my question is, what do you think should be next? ---

Self-correcting yoyos to make up for bad throws by properly leveling themselves, coupled with string-centering bearings and self-adjusting response pads to ensure every bind is perfect or every intentional tug brings the yoyo back to your hand. Add in small air holes and a computer for use with strings with a metalic thread. The holes can be used by the computer to redirect air to guide the yoyo using a RF detector to help guide the yoyo into the string. An RF signal is pushed down the bearing into the string so senors in the rim can seek out the string. ---

Actually an invention that I think someone should make and I just don’t have the knowledge to do it, is create a computer program that can help you come up with new tricks. So you want this particular finish, how do you get to that and allow you to computer generate different types of combos with strings. So it comes up with a 100 different combinations then the program shows you how to do it, then you can practice it. That would be hot and very do-able. ---

An RF signal is pushed down the bearing into the string so senors in the rim can seek out the string. Hmm, in my opinion, this is not a good idea. Auto-correct yoyo is like a console game which plays itself, or a racket which can hit the ball automatically… it’s just pointless. ---

my money would be on new materials, rather than design… (though the self correcting throw would be nice…) as for design - we’ve seen virtually every shape, now it’s just about different weight distributions - new materials provide different distribution properties. I wouldn’t mind one that is padded in Nerf - that way when it comes unexpectedly flying back at me (stupid twists and knots - it’s the strings fault!) or decides to come falling down towards my head (stupid gravity) it wont hurt as much… ---

A yo-yo with a response system that would automatically retract and effectively disappear when the yo-yo is spinning very quickly. When the yo-yo’s spin slows down, the response system automatically comes back and you’d now be able to bind it. Similar to the Yomega Brain except it would play unresponsive throughout the throw but tricks can now last longer with less friction rubbing against the string. ---

String that un-knots itself. Nerf padded yo-yo’s aren’t a bad idea. Hear that Nerf? Someone could prolly make a computer program that helps engineer tricks. In terms of style evolution though, I think 4A with hubstacks might be a fun idea if it was the same cost as a grind machine. Hear that Yoyofactory? I just gave you guy’s a pretty good idea. ---
