4) Do you have a very special thing on your robot, some cool design or whatnot? and If so what is it. Please describe it.

After the first day of practice on Thursday at PNWR, we found out our winch motor could get backdriven and let out robot glide down to the floor from the hook. So we used a dremel and hacksaw and created notches on our winch drum and created a ratchet using a servo, a paper clip, and a randomly shaped piece of scrap metal.
