Re: The Robonauts 118 - 2012 Video
Justin-
Great description of your thought process. We too went down a similar path of thinking, but we do differ slightly in one area. As I'm sure you guys did based on the description of your thought process, one word caught us up on this design, "grapple".
The first thing many people think of when you use the word "grapple" besides wrestling, is grappling hook. In my interpretation, essentially the c channel guide that reacts with the side rail of the ramp is accomplishing the same thing a grappling hook would. I am also in total agreeance with you that this is only one interpretation. I commend your team on "going for it" and I look forward to seeing what the final call on the field is when you lift that thing off the ground for the first time. Job very well done.
