-the intake has a wrap for horses ankles (name is unavalible at the moment)
-yes i see that it picked up 2 balls it wasn't driven by the driver and it is the exact same intake that was ran on 179 (financial simplicity) so no concern it can only just fit 2 balls you can see near the end it had a hard time intaking the 2nd one
-the firing is a 148 stile 2 position catapult w/ hooks to catch for the short shot and a hard stop for the far aka string. ran by surgical tubing as the power and a cim to retract (orange strap) and held down by a pneumatic piston, the cim would unspool to then fire by said piston
