Tape measure anyone?
Hello,

Our team has thought up a (hopefully) genius way to elevate a hook to the top of the tower. We will have a hook attached to a tape measure. During the finale, we will extend the tape measure with a simple vex wheel, connected to a speed controller. Once we elevate the hook to the top of the tower, the hook will detach while the tape measure winds back up.

I want to know other team's opinions on this and its legality. The heavy duty tape measure extends 12 feet at the correct angle with three Allen keys on it.
