Nah. I saw the climbing storyboard 842 posted. It was a pretty nice solution to the problem and only needed an arm that was pivoted at the base and presumably a linear lift on either side of that arm. The rest was shifting CGs to position the hooks on the arm. I have a feeling that arm was also 842's pickup and shooter, so I have to say I was looking forward to seeing a team doing pretty much everything on the field with one highly integrated subsystem. I hope they can still work things out.
