The biggest variation was whether the team build a linear or curved shooter, but other than that, differences in functionality are minimal. The only really cool design difference, the height of the robot with regards to full-court shooting (60") or making it under the bar (<30") was not based on size, it was based on the field.

I believe they're refering to the decision of having a floor pickup vs having a climber. Or Having a 10pt hang vs a climber. Not differences in the same mechanism but the decision between different mechanisms in the same space.
