first off the contest is over so there is no need for clarification from first and second off arms have huge adantages over baskets: the are much stronger than baskets, the lift quicker, they hold baskets down, the can be used to move around the puck, the can right a tipped machine, they can gather and hold floppies (ours could hold over ten). these are all clearly legal things too do plus they can do those 'borderline' legal things such as pulling robots off the puck. as for making it robust maybe peeps who make arms just take pride in making something that isn't a piece of crap and that won't get easily destroyed, like many bags did, in the heat of battle.
