The arms do not extend at all, and are made of carbon fiber with custom water jet hooks clamped on the top. (I believe Alex hinted at this in the FIM Livonia thread). We use PID to get the arms to a position in which the hooks are just inside the hole of the RC. As soon as we are in position, we drive forward pulling the cans off the step and turn while retracting the arms back to their original upright position.
