On the other hand I can do a lot more with just a stick.

Ahh, but that doesn’t make you an evil genius.

Wanted to get the lingo right so I pulled up TNG103 at just about 21 minutes.

“Hooked my model tractor beam in the ship’s power. Now it’s a repulsor beam too.”

Then the training department is teaching everyone metaphysics, a bawdy limerick and Tasha has the giggles so Picard wisely sends Data down to check on her. Turns out he’s fully functional.

so it appears a tractor beam and a repulsor beam are basically the same thing and it’s just a matter of power.

And it’s repulsor beam, just to confirm!

Reform the Soviet union and move the USA into a black hole.

I recall in the Pixar film Cars, they played a game called tractor tipping; is this similar?
