The gas springs aren't fixed in place yet, so we've not tried to collapse or lift anything with them yet. We'll take care of that next, I imagine. We changed the mounting scheme for the gas springs a bit to allow us to quickly disengage them from the lifting mechanism at the end of a match so we don't have to our team storm the field and sit on the things to reset them, and as a result, the location where the gas springs are pinned is not yet known. I have to redo some math and modeling to find out where it's supposed to go.
