Looks pretty awesome! Can't wait to see it at Palmetto.

PS. I would be careful running those rover wheels on that tile. The cracks can mess them pretty bad pretty fast, to the point of not legal. But its shipped now...

Wow, looks like a SOLID "rookie" offering!
I can't wait to see video of this one in action.

I like the cable/turnbuckle system for supporting the tower. Very simple and lightweight way to get a lot of strength.

Good Luck,
John

Ask and ye shall receive.

Conveyor system, sans shooter drums

With shooter drums

Imagine this, but obscene quantities. Six or eight (potentially more) at a time, no sweat. Proof coming when I get the clearance to post it.
