Development of 1678's Can Grabber

[dougwilliams]

Very impressive development! I have two questions -

1- earlier in the season you had a release video with all 4 cans being taken - and people were guessing you were using some sort of tape measure system.

Was that in fact, the original 4 can wind-surfing system?

2- In this video

It looks like you have a motorized pivot for the pole - if that's correct can you say a bit more about that? And you eventually switched to surgical tubing? And, it looks like the poles are extending as they pivot and retract, can you describe that mechanism a bit more?

Thanks, and congratulations!
