Thanks Joe,
Yeah that was my funky idea to curl instead of pulling up. It allowed us to use the same joint for ball handling and hanging, thus eliminating some wgt. Even though I believe we are still at around 130.5 lbs at ship, A little more drilling and we'll have it. The latching mechanism was the trickey part, we only had about a pound left to design it, so that eliminated motors & air. We actually use gravity as force used to actuate the latch, since we are rotating. It seems to work well. Stop by and see us at the Great lakes or Western.
