Re: That's a lot of fuel

Some other PCH Volunteers and I were discussing a lot of the same suggestions already mentioned here, Then I found this (rather expensive) tennis ball retriever:



It inspired me to make one up for the fuel. I have a very basic sketch and plan down for a version built out of plywood and plexi using polycord to lift the fuel. I'm mainly waiting to make sure that
1. FIRST does not have a better solution for field reset already in the works
2. confirmation of bin size

I was planning on making it push powered, but I'm wondering now if maybe a CIM to drive the collection mechanism... :hmmm:
