The spinning kicker turned out to be a lost cause. Unfortunately, no pictures were taken before the contraption was dismantled.
A brief description: powered by a motor, a pinwheel-like kicker would spin, hooked to the motor with a chain. While spinning, a ball would be rolled into the moving device. It kicked it out about 2 feet, 5 if lucky; the ball would also catch and halt the mechanism.
In addition, the winch mechanism lifted a chassis to the tower directly. Again, there are no pictures.
Chairman's Team met and thought; much of their ideas were placed on the whiteboard.
