Is carbon fiber allowed this year? Best check.

Our hook was just a piece of 1/4 x 5/8 steel bent with a hammer. It was mounted somewhat oddly - sort of horizontally with the hook part down. It would rub the bar and flip up into position. The cable and tube spring tension was all that held it in place. Crude but effective. We got all 4 robots on the bar in one match.
