Wow! Solid bot, you guys always make one of the most reliable and simple yet effective machines. Does that 82" blocker extend and retract or when you use it is it permanently out? I can't really tell from the video since it is so thin.

It extends and retracts when it pivots up. It is run by a pneumatic cylinder and is basically a tube within a tube and the inner tube is connected to a cable such that when the outter tube pivots up it raises the inner tube. I.E. telescopes out. So we can be 82" defending a FCS and let it down when we need to return to offense or leave the 84" zone.
