As mentioned above, there probably isn't anything you can do that can rigidly attach to your frame and not be deployed. That doesn't mean you can't use your idea and try to find a way to deploy it. I'd really suggest trying to make a quick prototype out of cardboard to see how you can deploy it, and just run with it. If you can't find a solution in the next few days, then move onto the next idea. Time is a precious commodity at this point of the season, and you can't afford to spend too much of it on an idea with a dead end.
