Are you by chance referring to FEDS 201?

The arm is designed so that the hook disconnects at the top and the arm falls back down once the winch cable starts to pull. This keeps the arm from looking like a pretzel.

There's a video of it here from one of the Kettering matches: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Roches...168364?ref=ts#

We hope to not be in the running for the Most Spectacular Fall of 2010.
