Thank you for your support. Yeah we will probably start looking at some type of drawer slider method instead of a rotational method. That way some decorational piece of .0625 flat bar can be at the end of the sweeping appendage.

I also agree with you that we appear to have blocked the GDC into a corner but it seemed necessary to keep all the inspections and ref calls equal across the whole season. I would hate for week 1 to be judge differently than week 6.

I am glad we got a finite ruling now so we can finish our design. It shouldn't be too hard to come up with something
