As requested. Afaik I didn't upload this footage anywhere until now, and I believe the only other person who saw this was one of the Newton inspectors who stayed around the in pit during elims/einstein.
This system was mounted entirely on a separate wood platform that would sit underneath our robot at the start of the match, but be tethered to 5012 (who would also have 118's modular grabbers mounted on their actual chassis). When the match started these would launch, our robot would hold the platform to the ground, then we would drive away during tele op leaving it attached to 5012 (and hopefully the cans they hit) while leaving our robot mobile to build stacks for the rest of the match.
Essentially, it would have boiled down to 900 and 5012 in a tug of war at the center of the field, and 1678 + 118 stacking against 1114 + 148.
