Arms anyone?

There is a lot of talk about lifting other robots(including my team), and from the looks of it, most are going to be able to do it one way or another. In the end, it might just be left to who can get it done in time.

But what of the ringers? They might start making difference if everyone is going to be able to elevate their alliance.

Which arm do you guys think is going to perform the best: a complex dynamic arm that might work as good as a human arm or a simple elevator style system.

Dynamic arm:

Well it's complex and hard to manufacture, but it might give the flexibility needed to efficiently place the ring form a distance.

Elevator:

They have fewer moving parts, thus they are easier to build. But their limited range of motion might hamper their efficiency and speed.
