Hey, y'all... Sorry I've been so inactive with my mission reports lately, it's been busy. It's the time of the year where I have a competition every weekend or so and there's studying for the ACT, school, clubs, dealing with what is potentially a relationship, general stuff, a few things I don't want to talk about, etc.
I also have an idea for yet another story but I'm really hesitant to write it. I am already questioning my ability to finish my two main mission reports before college and I don't want another thing on my plate, but I think it would be interesting.

Appreciate the banana for scale.
Looks big enough for a short poem. I wonder if you can tape together two things of poster board to hide the pvc weight. Also I believe that stuff is kinda stiff (poster board) so it might be worth adding quite a bit of weight to help is unfurl. Or maybe could do an accordion style thing, where it unfolds instead of unfurls? That's more machine dependant so I'll just toss it out there, but I think you have a better idea of how it's gonna work. You know, cause you're building it and I'm not

Hmm, accordion style, that's something I hadn't considered. It would probably make deployment more reliable, but it would make the message slightly less legible. I could do it with the mechanism I already have in place. Unfortunately, there are some components that protrude slightly into the poster's path. The unrolling means that the poster will harmlessly roll over those parts, but with an accordion it may get stuck. Thank you for the idea, though.
