As mentioned earlier in the thread, the back end is so that we can move the pistons back for CoG adjustment.

In the model the back of the feeder currently is open. We use zipties as a "back" since we don't need too much contact area on a frisbee for it to slide into the bucket. Worked wonders for us during the main season.

There is a 1x1 aluminum pinch bar that holds the frisbees in while the arm rises, and it's in such a position that in the vertical position the frisbees can freely slide out.
Thanks for the advice on the climber, Adam and Carl. I'll be sure to look into the centered hook design and reinforcements.
