I agree with the buzzer beat mentality; 1717's ramps were hands down the BEST in 07, and they heavily inspired their own hanger this year.

I think this season also pointed out a very useful and effective variant of the roller claw; the pinching roller claw using a clutch. I remember in the past we had done this in software in some cases, the clutch is a very elegant mechanical solution.

This is quite a stretch, but while we're on design, acquisition and scoring area/angle is a big one. Whatever the system is, it should allow as much driver error as possible while acquiring and scoring.
