What do you suppose these guys are using to release?

My initial thought was clutches, but I can't tell if that's a shifter where the winch has been put on the shaft of the transmission itself. Hm...

It quite quiet when it releases. It could be either of them.

They are using a cable on a wench to pull the foot back. I be it is a manual release such as our wooden model.

They have an interesting drive and even more interesting mechanism to get their "hook" up.

We should probably think about working on our anntenna device sooner or later. It could prove useful during a match.
