You guys are making me wish I'd spent the $700 (I didn't have) on that
pneumatic bumper mount mast -- some guy had it up on eBay a few weeks
ago. I think it went to 30'.
Did anyone else see that and get tempted for their rover?
LOL! Great fun THAT would be... I know I'd be out in the rain trying to
pump the thing up, cussing it out while missing contacts... but I'd come
home and rationalize it all away as "fun"!
Heh heh... must be something wrong with us rovers... mentally. (GRIN)
