I'm just imagining a lot of teams having problems of lining up without the tape bending, but I guess a better strategy is to slam into the tower all the way up the batter and then extend.
That is what we are trying is the slam in method..we'll see if the build team gets it done today. Biggest issue is getting a small enough detachable hook at the right angle with our scissor lift (not tape) Then balancing on a separate winch mechanism. I think we'll get it done today as priority #1, we felt early on it was best to use the castle as a vertical guide in last 20 seconds with limited vision from far end and defense perhaps being played
