There is a spool of super string/spectra line on the top of the front wall powered by a PG71. This allows us to pull the entire cage in and is our only form of control. The cage is sprung at the bottom (Those white thingies have springs in them) so there is always tension on the line and we can cleanly deploy without having to jiggle around. We can adjust the tension if needed. It's much more elegant than anything else we've come up with.
