This was an off the shelf fan, with model airplane propellers, run by a 775, inflating a custom sewn bag. I never would have called this a pneumatic device and it was never questioned as such.
During this year’s brainstorming, this blocker was brought up as possible way to deliver a hook to the bar. I honestly didn’t foresee it working, and love that 4060 pulled it off… it brought an immediate smile to my face when I saw the video. Great job.

Slight derail, but it is interesting to hear that this kind of cheesecake is what my team might have been up against if things played out differently in those elimination matches.
Love the climber on 4060, reminds me of the roll up party favor whistles.
