We did our first tests of the system as whole today. I'd say it took about 2 seconds to retract our shooter. It measured at over 100lbs of force in its current configuration.

We did have an issue with triggering the shifter rod, but I expect that it will be fixed with some lubrication. Like one of our mentors always says "When in doubt, Lubricate!"
