Derpancakes has a little shameless behaviour in the past
Re: 2014 Game

We had a 3-CIM driven Lunchbox (gray) raise/lower the crossbeams (black) with a custom-tapped rod (red). Once this grabbed the bar, it pulled the robot upwards and pushed the bar under the static claws (also gray). The arm could then lift up to the next bar. It was mounted on a platform that could pivot the robot forward or back to shift the weight. Yeah, it was a bit complex.
