Re: the hook for the 2010 competition

But even though it can be open, if the hook slips off the bar, your robot's going to fall and possibly be damaged, as well as any robots that are hanging off of it. So even though it's probably easier to make an open hook, rather than a moving hook, there are some tradeoffs.
