This is part of being a professional--if you're stumped, and someone displays an idea you didn't think about, you look at whether or not it's a viable option, and, MORE IMPORTANTLY in FIRST, what you can learn from it as you adapt it to your robot's design.
Oh, and this one's for Andrew: Don't forget about the 2009 shooter-dumper conversions. Or a number of claws in 2011 on the West Coast that looked suspiciously like a particular highly successful 2007 claw.
