It's getting bigger lol.

My friend saw that I was making one, and he gave me a ton of rubber bands. Life is good.

What should my goal weight or diameter be? And what should I do with it when I finish?

Well on a positive note....... it will not smash like your jar with your lint collection when you drop it!

As far as size goes...... limit it so it still fit's in the hatch of the yaris or go for the record!

The world's largest rubber band ball was created by Joel Waul. He is the current World Record Holder according the Guinness World Records. The ball, which sits under a tarp in Waul's driveway, is 9,032 pounds, and more than six-feet tall and more than 700,000 rubber bands. It set the world record on November 13, 2008 in Lauderhill, Florida.

Nope, sorry dude. But I'd go with a trebucet if it's going to be big

get it up to the size of the bowling ball and it can be done. Go over to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and ask for Dr. Frank Wilczek. He's a professor that will point you in the right direction
