Can you elaborate more on your module and frame setup, especially for getting over the barrier? I've been drooling all season since your reveal video and am still kicking myself for missing you at Champs.

In our final design, we're powering the lower four colsons on each side via a chain, and powering the upper four via a polycord linkage to the bottom four colsons. I'll try to get a picture that shows this setup tomorrow. It's actually pretty cool what our build team came up with, especially the tensioners. We ran the chains which power the four lower colsons thru a piece of PVC.

Whoa. Can I ask how/why you guys came up with that idea? Looks awesome!
