When you mentioned that the robot would look significantly different I thought it would either be a RC stabilizer or a Ramp of some sort and the former was right.

we've built and designed the claw in a week, but we had to remove 5 pounds on our elevator in order to add it. We also made a ramp that we used during practices (just like 1114) but we didn't have to use it in playoffs.

The entire claw was made with a jigsaw 2 days before montreal and we were able to program it in 1 minute 37 seconds (not joking).

We also had an automatic sticking sequence using limit switches, but we broke them and didn't take the time to replace it.
