More Mechazilla Booster Catching testing is going on at Starbase Tower 1. This was the fastest the chopsticks have closed in the catch position on the tower so far. Since then, the sticks have lowered, as if with a caught booster.

Approx 5mins after SQD ripped away too, I bet it was a full dry sim

Aw, but the post-close bounce still remains

Holy cow, the whole tower is swinging left to right. Look at it on a bigger screen and hold the cursor over a fixed point of the tower. Hope that won`t damage the structure.

Huge bounce. I bet tower 2 is fixing that.

Curious how the arms will even up on the catch, if one arm contacts the booster before the other arm. I wonder how much force the first arm in contact will have on the booster - and if it will dent the body.

Isn't that a lot of swing for the margin they have?

So much flex in that system though.
