Re: Most Unique Features

My teams bot is chock full of uniqueocity(yes, it's a real word). The best part has to be what I like to refer to as the Overkill Arm. We have a sliding/telescopic arm that goes straight up. I know 612 has one very similar and I've seen a few around but this one takes the cake. Those arms extend to the top rack at the most. We, however, decided to go for the extreme, about 12 feet or so. If we put a long enough manipulator, we could unplug the rack. I'll try and get some photos up, you really must see this.

edit:wow, post 100!!
