Re: Grappling hook?

We thought about this idea, but we realized it was impractical for a few reasons. One is that the precision needed to latch onto that tower without going past the hight limit is ridiculous. You'd have to time to hook and measure it so it reaches the maximum of its arc about three inches above the bar. Also, the reeling in doesn't seem so practical, especially because the grappling hook might break. Finally, I think FIRST does not allow shooting things, or at the least they frown on it. Well, good luck with your idea if you use it.
