I'm gonna go with a more detailed guess

The Robowhack is for herding the balls. It is almost the same as your arms last year, but this year they are powered by a small (3/4 inch bore?) pneumatic cylinder for each side. I attached a picture (I think it worked). In the front are arms (we are using the same concept).

I still don't know much about the quadramax's are, but I still think that they are for 4 way shifting for the chippys (your drive motors).

As for the hook-o-matic. I still think the arm telescopes, but I am going to guess that the hook at the end is attached to a van-door motor to act as a winch for you to pull up off of the ground. I am going to guess that there are no projectiles involced, either.

-Daniel

EDIT: The attachment isn't working, so can you PM me your e-mail adress so I can e-mail the picture?
