Since I have yet to see the PNW on here much, time for an update from up here
FRC 1318 has a cool step container auto Mechanism and their ally (and best friends, apparently) fold up their robot to fit into transport configuration. I have no idea how it works, but it does.

In that video you will also see my team (the beautiful black monstrosity)... we have a relatively unique claw- it's one of those little claws that just sticks in under the side of the tote, but then we stabilize it with a pneumatic foot, allowing us to (after modifications post the event in the video) still lift up to 6 totes
This video shows us with the foot working (nice closeup at about 45 seconds in), as well as our 3 tote auto, but on the blue alliance is 3218, with the weirdest claw/lifter ...thing... I have seen yet

sorry if I did some overkill, but this is what I do in my free time now so I find a lot of stuff
