Hey, could you guys find an opah and launch it, just to relieve everyone's stress around here (and discussion of the game hint)?

If you look closely at the picture on the right (the CAD does not have it) there is a piece of 1/4" aluminum coplanar to the main arm that has a slight V shape cut out. The release angle wasn't perfect (was about 35 degrees I think) but it was good enough. And since it was luck that it went at that angle on the first try, the group decided to just keep it that way.
