Let's just say that this idea has some air under it's wings 
I'll show myself out.
We'll probably release a video later in the season once we have it working... hopefully.
Good luck. It's a great challenge and I can't wait to see what people come up with. |
I track where you are heading with that clue, and we also are testing a seemingly similar "wings" concept, initially with cable tension and surgical tubing wing return.
We may switch to the heavier pneumatics later if we have to, but since we are not going to drive or ever leave the pyramid, our initial plan is to go for minimum possible weight approach first.
