What's the coolest (or most complicated) linkage ever used in FRC?

Four Bars are all the rage because they are relatively bulletproof, but what's the most complicated (or coolest) linkage to ever see use on an FRC robot?

I know 148 was proud of their double 4 bar in 2011, and 842 had a pretty neat chain run as well, but that can't be the extent of super cool mechanisms. A friend suggested 217 in 2007, but there must be a whole host of mechanisms out there.

Go!
