3927 has a claw with wheels on the top and bottom, they have a really fast intake as well. Team 16, and 4522 both have a very fast and reliable feeder. I haven't seen any el toro style intakes that are as fast and easy to load as the horizontal beater bar or claw, but I haven't seen all of the robots so one probably exists.
