No video yet; my phone's battery was dead last night. If I can make it to our first matches tonight, I'll grab some video and put it up on our FRC team's YouTube channel.

It works like you might expect; a simple-four bar (driven by a 67-esque lower four-bar) raises to the rings to any of the three scoring heights. It has PID control on the arm and drive for positioning.

The manipulator isn't a claw; it's more of a bucket. It slides up into the rings from below and pulls them away from the pegs to load. It can rotate forward to dump rings onto the pegs.
