Do you think this might be a loaded question? You seem to be missing a few other possible choices that spring to mind, such as a simple dynamic arm (with perhaps two single axis joints), or a complex elevator system.

I'm eagerly awaiting our team's discussion of this subject, I think it will be influenced by impromptu experiments with the rings and a simulated rack. It might be that an elevator would require complex "stuff" on it to orient the rings so they can be scored, or to be able to pick up rings from the floor.
