For this, I've been thinking of having an articulated 1717 2010-esque lifter that will be able to traverse the corners. Have a latching system on the top, and drive wheels at the bottom. By any chance, does anybody have close up pics of their latching mechanism from that year?

I see that they posted pics of their bot here: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/35361
But the only pic that is broken is the one for the latching.
