Do you have presets for different tension amounts to facilitate different types of shots?

Thanks for the compliment!
We are *capable* of doing lots of different shot ranges, but we still strongly prefer specific ranges that have the highest accuracy. We have 4 presets to choose from, some for trussing and passing, others for scoring.

How do you avoid backdriving the variable tensioner?

We have limit switches on the top and bottom of the mechanism that serve as the last line of defense, but we use two potentiometers to move to the preset positions, so we'll never run against the bottom limit unless both pots fail.
