Our definition is that it just leaves the gear on the peg with some actuated mechanism. Our gear mechanism lines up passively without the drivetrain (the whole thing pivots and gives a little), but our gear box just opens and the gear falls forward onto the peg. When the robot backs away the gear stays on the peg because of its inertia.
