20 had a similar design, but we always categorized it in the category of circular shooter, just with a different angle.

In addition, to add to the climbing- the basic pneumatic pullup. The advantages of it were that it could pull up even after the match ended, and it was often faster than the passive, requiring no speed when coming into the bar, and it never got caught on a bumper like some passive hangers did. 20 had this, as well as many other teams. I know that 228, GUS did, but I can't recall others off the top of my head.

In addition, teams like 2791 and 33 that used their adjustable shooter angle to hang as well deserve a mention in that category.

Possibly an "other" category for innovative shooters like 1503's catapult and 2337's double-barreled shooter.
