I vaguely recall a comment that you use your drive motors to hang so perhaps there is a cable that runs up the arm that powers those hooks?
I suppose that is where the smart money would place there bets, but I would still like confirmation.

We will take a picture of our practice robot hanging this weekend and post it, so you will have a better idea of how it works. We do run a cable the length of the arm and hold it down with Velcro until it is time to winch up, as the cable takes up the slack it pulls away from the arm.
We can grab the bar with our hook from any position but our plan is to grab it from the floor.
We would sure like to see what Chief Delphi is doing how about posting some pictures.
