I've committed. I've also invited about fifty engineering students from LeTourneau University, including quite a few upper classmen and graduates--people who actually know engineering.
I can see this being a pretty cool site. I'm studying mechanical engineering, so I could potentially ask and answer questions.

In Topic: Where can I find a write-up for this?

There isn't a write-up on how to build this particular variant of the +bow, but you could build it by just looking at the pictures Nerfomania took of it (found here; you'll have to go through the pages of his images to find them, but there are tons of images that detail his build process, so it should help you quite a bit) and applying what he did to the original +bow design.

I'm pretty sure that none of these darts have ever been used. I measured these with digital calipers and made sure that the calipers touched but did not compress the foam or head during measuring.
