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.

I remember some thoughts for teams doing this back in 2004. I am not 100% sure if one actually made it into competition. Do some searching around and I am sure you'll find it.
It's a creative idea if you make it fail safe.
