Woah. That's awesome. It's like a piston, but the extender is the hook. I like that 95% success rate (don't know what the sample size is, though) but it seems a little surprising with that hook design. I would expect it to fall off easily. Do you have video of you testing it?

Edit: Just read the line "Hook is made to rebound off the slant behind the hook on the tower to then be pulled back and grab on." This seems more feasible for the hook design.
