Wat the Hook Gon Be?

I've seen a lot of cool hooks used for hanging over the last couple and it got me wondering what kind of hooks people are using this year.

If you are using a hook this year:

What kind of hook is it?
What is it made of and how heavy is it?
Did you make it or did you buy it?
How did you make it or where did you buy it?
From current competitions, which kind of hooks have you seen working best?
Does it stay attached to the arm or does it come off when you hang?
If it come unattached how did you do it? Velcro? Shear pin?



My team is using a pirate like single pronged hook made of aluminum on a band saw. It weighs less than 1/2 lb and it comes unattached with either the shear pin or velcro.
