How do you plan to pull it back, hold it, and release it?


For pulling it back and releasing we'll be using a winch mechanism attached to the back of the cradle, with a clutch for releasing it. We're still playing with how to hold it but the Ri3d team had a cool idea using a ratcheting wrench on a hex shaft, which is a definite possibility.
