Yes, it is an entrapption star from AM. I won't say their use for this year, but we did use them on last year's robot (http://boilerinvasion.org/index.php?page=photos&g2_itemId=30816)

We are impressed with the red stars from AndyMark as well.

I'm curious how you punched out that sprocket hole in the star ?

We are using them as a passive cushion for our roller claw.

being alumni from your sister team, 1747, I think i will take a stab at it:

double roller grabber on a telescoping arm, attached by a pivot on a raised set of mounts?
