1986's utility arm was also much more than just a balancing device,

It was their ball intake
It could lift the bridge for an opposite robot
It could lower the bridge
It could reach balls under the bridge
It was a "push up" stabilizer to balance as the last robot on
It was a shock absorber to stabilize the balance as the first robot on
It would automatically lift after the buzzer
