[TowerTalk] Best way of getting a line over a tree

[Perry - K4PWO]

Here is a source for a compressed air "tennis ball" shooter.  They also sell 
a cheaper combustion model but the air model is safer and doesn't produce 
heat.
The local high school bought a "T-shirt shooter" from them for a "pep rally" 
robot I assisted them in designing.  I worked quiet well and they modified 
it for us to use CO2 and electrical triggering.
