Eh? When you say "locking", do you mean an actual locking mechanism, or just the locking produced by the friction force? From the videos I've watched, it looks as if all 469 does is drive under the tower and raise their arm. I noticed that most teams try ramming them from the middle zone. My idea is to have a robot push from the defensive zone. Here is an example:

It seems to me that with good traction wheels (like the ones 148 and 217 use) and a high gear ratio, a robot should be able to push 469 out from under the tunnel.
