How bout this one? As far as I know we were the only team to incorporate both hockey sticks and an arm/catapult mechanism.

We saw Team 334 (TechKnights) at NYC, with an interesting intake design which let them turn to face the ball without knocking it out of the way. They also had a pivoting slingshot which proved very powerful.

In the Western Canada Regional the yoke for the winch clutch, which was 3D printed, shattered just before the elimination rounds. We competed with our arms up and all we can do is ball in and ball out and play defence. We win the regionals and proceeded to St. Louise. Didn't beat the 254 2056 865 record of 346 points but pretty darn close with 325 points.
