Easy in 2002 team 88 rolled up a piece of lexan that allowed it to touch the home zone to get bonus points. It was light and simple. Any one from 2002 knows what i am talking about. After NJ almost everyone copied it. In fact it was copied in that event.

Just though of another one which i am sorry i do not know the team but in 07 a robot driving on a ramp (for end of game bonus) and to get the ramp 12 inches high they had a half a circle which lifted the ramp when you drove the robot forward. If someone has a pic please post it.

That would be 245. I swear I've seen a video of them somewhere but can't seem to find it.

Reminds me of the Digital Goats as well. They had the design working at the week 1 regional in St. Louis. Definitely a factor in winning the regional. Can't find a great picture, but you can make out the cams here in the undeployed state.
