Ours was most definitly actuated. It bent at the wrist and was attached to a extending boom on a 270 degree turret.

I did like 188's gripper (kind of like our's but we have an active 3-pronged gripper). With all of these teams, if you bumped them hard enough, they could lose it. The difference was how easily they could lose it.

I guess the one I liked the best was 69s just because it was so darn fast. They didn't get that #1 seed for nothing!

We were number 1 seed I'd say 69 and us were extremely evenly matched, one on one.
