The CAD at horizontal is about 54.5" out with the HDPE arms in the drawing being placeholders (we hadn't worked out the shape fully at the time this was sent for machining), but the real thing was shaved down since that swivel part was being iterated as the team went along. It's incredibly close and right at the 54" mark right now though which worries me. We'll probably play with the length of that part/different iterations as the season goes on. The rear bumper might be a slight issue if moved out of place, but I'm hoping that won't be the case.

I'll have Brandon post a screenshot from the CAD later probably when he has access to it.

Greg, I'm curious, did your team implement a similar design as this still? I'm excited to see it now!
