Re: Hail Mary hang?

To clarify, our hanging mechanism is powered by two pneumatic valves and 2 gas shocks. The hail mary was put in place just for the slim chance that the drivers are going to the pyramid at the end of a match and just barely make it and can't press the button to hang. The system eliminates that one disappointing match where we can't hang.
