I like the standards ideas, but I'm not sure how easy it'll be to get everyone to go along with it.

My post's wording sucked so I'll edit it (tends to happen to me a lot) but I was basically saying making a standard mount based on something other than the field bar would not be advisable. If teams include a section of field-like bar on their robots, then existing grabbers can be adapted to it.
