How did teams think of using the 'reverse curl' to get on the bar?

I was going over some notes from this past year and had a basic design and strategy question for anyone.

During the course of the finals it became very clear that the better robots used the 'reverse curl' method to hang during the finale (ie Team 33 and 148 are excellent examples).

My question is: How to you think of this?

I will admit that we missed this method entirely! Was there something that triggered the idea of was it just divine inspiration?

Thanks
