DISCLAIMER: I've never seen a Blueshark in person. I have no idea if it is built to be able to support itself on levelers. According to the specifications, it weighs 85 lbs. This compares to half of an arcade DDR stage which is about 220 lbs. I think it's safe to assume that the arcade stage is more heavy duty.liquidblue aka DBV wrote:I've actually never thought about doing this... would keep my pad off the floor where dust gathers too.

maybe i'll look into getting 4 little stands from a hardware store and putting them on the bottom to get that spring i need. because playing tribal style makes me want to die.
Also, the lower weight of the Blueshark on the reduced surface area of levelers vs. the full pad flat on the floor may cause the Blueshark to slide around more. This might cause some floor damage depending on what kind of surface you're putting it on. Heck, I've seen some pretty bad scrapes left by arcade stages with levelers that weren't properly set (see: X-Site).
Basically, I'm just noting the similarities and differences between arcade stages (which I have worked on fairly extensively) and the Blueshark (which I'm basing only on pictures and descriptions). I think it's a neat idea to try give the Blueshark more "spring" by making it more arcade-like, but I'm not actually advising you to do so nor am I making any warranties against damage caused by doing so.
