Re: Most Effective Scoring Design?
While teams were able to achieve amazing results with telescoping arm and single joints, I believe the driveablity and repeatability of the linear lift made it somewhat superior. The linear lift, coupled with a roller claw or well designed "pinch" claw seemed to be a very solid combination this year.
A "new" design, at least to me, seemed to show up this year. I consider what 111 and 177 built this year to be "hybrid" designs where they basically have an arm mounted on a linear lift. Very interesting functionality came from this design choice.
In my opinion the roller claw with the ability to open was a huge advance in tube gripper design.
