Re: Most Unique Features
I think a really interesting unique feature this year was 2274's "mouse" that extended their ramp at the NYC regional. Their robot was equipped with a motorized minibot that deployed from under their frame to extend their ramp fully. It helped them avoid the issues that many gravity-propelled ramps had where the supports didn't fully extend while coming down, leaving the ramp just short of 12 inches. Plus, I think everyone who saw it would agree it was really cool!
