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!!
totally unique .. cant forget the chain tensioners and the casters! Ya your bot fully extended is freakishly tall
