I think that is an oversimplification of past years robots. Last year's robots had:
For grippers:
Roller claws (see 121, 67, 148)
Suction cups (1086, 1987)
gripper that picked up from the inside (25, 1714)
gippers that picked up the inside/outside of tube (111, 1732, 1114)
grippers that picked up the outside of the tube (1038)
For arms:
Elevators (25, 1425)
4 bar-linkage (2056, 1114)
For ramps:
Lifters (1501)
Ramps (71, 47)
Combination of lifter/ramp (1816, 1114, 27)

This was just a quick list, I'm positive others can go into much greater detail and list many different types of grippers, arms, and ramps.
