Partial Progress

I discovered a typo in the pointDynamics code during lunch today, where I had multiplied a value by the mass of a segment instead of dividing, which was messing up all of the velocity vectors for the ribbon segments. This was what was popping the last segments off of the elevator during each iteration.

The ribbon starts breaking now on the eleventh iteration through the ribbon dynamics code, near the base, at the second segment above the anchor. Just need to track down the bug I induced that is causing the problem.
