It cannot retract. It's a one time gravity latch. Our plan is to bring the claw into the bumper zone by raising the arm to scoring height. We went to great lengths to ensure our CG would be low enough to allow this.

Are you at all worried about a wooden claw in a high speed collision with another robot?

Yes. Parts of it are surprisingly sturdy (mainly the "fingers", and the solid core wooden tube) but we'd prefer to not ram robots with it. We plan to push backwards.
