I assume the stomp rocket in the background will be one of those "little odds and ends" soon to be attached – it's the backup system for ball launching in case the elevator's too slow, right?

I don't have a picture of the spool handy, but I'll take or find one today. We've got a brass tee fitting set up so that one part is coaxial with the spool and that allows the tubing feeding air into it to rotate. It's neat.

The stomp rocket actually belongs to the building, not the team. It's a nice distraction sometimes and we don't even need to go outside to play.
