1. A method of shaping a spacer length, comprising: feeding a spacer to a tooling on a rotatable mount, wherein the rotatable mount is configured to continuously rotate about an axis in one direction, and wherein the tooling comprises a plurality of spacer retention devices;actuating a portion of the tooling to translate the portion of the tooling;moving apart at least some of the spacer retention devices to apply tension to a spacer frame;rotating the mount, thereby wrapping the spacer around a portion of the tooling; andmoving at least some of the spacer retention devices inwardly towards each other to disengage from the spacer when the spacer is being applied to a transparent pane. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein rotating the tooling comprises dynamically adjusting the position of the tooling by moving the tooling vertically during tooling rotation. 3. The method of claim 1, further comprising, prior to feeding the spacer to the tooling, obtaining the spacer from a spacer assembly system, the spacer defining first, second, third, and fourth lengths, the first length coupled to the second length and having a first notch therebetween, the second length coupled to the third length and having a second notch therebetween, and the third length coupled to the fourth length and having a third notch therebetween. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein feeding the spacer to the tooling includes feeding the first length of the spacer to the tooling. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein actuating the portion of the tooling and rotating the rotatable mount includes rotating the rotatable mount approximately a first ninety degrees and feeding the second length of the spacer to the tooling. 6. The method of claim 5, further comprising rotating the rotatable mount approximately a second ninety degrees and feeding the third length of the spacer to the tooling. 7. The method of claim 6, further comprising rotating the rotatable mount approximately a third ninety degrees and feeding the fourth length of spacer to the tooling. 8. The method of claim 7, further comprising joining the first and fourth lengths of the spacer to form a spacer frame. 9. The method of claim 8, further comprising: translating the tooling towards the transparent pane in a direction approximately perpendicular to the transparent pane; andattaching the spacer frame to the transparent pane. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the plurality of spacer retention devices comprise first, second, third, and fourth spacer retention devices configured to receive the first, second, third, and fourth lengths of the spacer, respectively, and configured to translate outwardly to apply a tension to the spacer frame. 11. The method of claim 10, further comprising translating at least one of the first, second, third, and fourth spacer retention devices inwardly to remove the tension from the spacer frame after attaching the spacer frame to the transparent pane. 12. The method of claim 9, wherein the axis is approximately parallel to a ground surface and approximately perpendicular to the transparent pane. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein the transparent pane is arranged against an assembly table at an angle offset from perpendicular to the axis. 14. The method of claim 3, further comprising translating the tooling in a direction approximately parallel to the transparent pane before rotating the rotatable mount. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein translating the tooling in the direction approximately parallel to the transparent pane is performed after obtaining the spacer and feeding the first length of the spacer to the tooling. 16. The method of claim 1, further comprising: translating the tooling towards the transparent pane in a direction approximately perpendicular to the transparent pane; andattaching a spacer frame formed from the spacer length to the transparent pane. 17. The method of claim 16, wherein the plurality of spacer retention devices comprise first, second, third, and fourth spacer retention devices configured to receive the first, second, third, and fourth lengths of the spacer, respectively, and configured to translate outwardly to apply a tension to the spacer frame. 18. The method of claim 17, further comprising translating at least one of the first, second, third, and fourth spacer retention devices inwardly to remove the tension from the spacer frame after attaching the spacer frame to the transparent pane.
