There partner was us, we all hung are robots a little different than most....we all curled up instead of pulling up. When we won the Great lakes we were named the "clone alliance". It had some advantages and also some disadvantages. I liked 66 and 279 design a little better than ours because they both added one more reduction to give them a slower curl speed.

Advantage - Could use same arm joint for ball picking and to curl

Disadvantage - A whole lot of torque on one pivot.
