Thanks for the comments guys! We've been working really hard this season.

The telescoping arms are 3-stage, and pivot to aid with overcoming obstacles and hang. It's belt driven. Internal parts were made in-house on a mini-lathe, laser cutter, and 3D printer. We also included a custom PTO gearbox to convert the drive train into a winch for hanging.

We used a single-wheel flywheel shooter, with a hood. The hood is modular and the location and number of the slats can be adjusted as necessary. It also collapses to pass under the low bar.

We've been working out all the bugs and the system should be good to go for Lone Star next week!
