Go to Post I am a firm believer that there is no model that can be transplanted/copied from one team to another and have the same level of success. There just isn't a formula for it. The mindset you should have is: "I know I have made a positive impact on my community". - tim-tim [more]

All I noticed is that I couldn't read them without squinting.

That really stinks that ya'll didn't get the bonus points. Interesting hanging device (to me at least). What'd ya'll make the tubing-like stuff that I'm assuming ya'll used to latch the rope onto the tower with?

Re: pic: 2996 Almost Suspended

Basically, it's four fiberglass poles with a twin-hook thing at the end (the poles are just bike flags, and the hook is a bent aluminum rod). Attached to that is a long strip of nylon webbing that we just keep loose, and then to deploy it there's just a little loop of parachute cord on the hook that just goes around a bolt on our winch, and when we back the winch up a bit the whole thing springs forward. Then we winch down the webbing. The winch is just a rod driven by a FP motor and gearbox.
(wasn't sure how to answer your question, so I just gave the whole spiel)
