Sure! So our team purchased a gate latch similar to this:

And what we have, is we attach the "peg" or whatever you want to call the piece that goes into the actual latch is mounted to our shooter. We attached a pneumatic cylinder onto the actual latch, so that when the cylinder is extended, the latch is closed, and once we retract it, it pulls back the latch, releasing the shooter. We also have a limit switch making sure that we don't winch the shooter down to much.
