I told them this might be considered an alignment device what are your thoughts?
Do you mean between the speed control and motor? I don't think this would be considered an alignment device.
The one thing to worry about though is how long it would take you to do this. If it takes a significant time, they might ask you to change it so that the matches aren't delayed.
If you are worried, ask the Q/A.

I still think a small piece of code at the beginning of autonomous to close the claw would be easier.
