Yes, it is an entrapption star from AM. I won't say their use for this year, but we did use them on last year's robot

Yes, it is an entrapption star from AM. But i won't go into details on the mechanism, you'll have to wait

We are impressed with the red stars from AndyMark as well.

I'm curious how you punched out that sprocket hole in the star ?

We are using them as a passive cushion for our roller claw.

double roller grabber on a telescoping arm, attached by a pivot on a raised set of mounts?
