Insights from 2000?

I noticed that the 2000 game also featured a chin-up bar. I, and I'm sure many other rookie teams and probably some second and third year teams as well are very interested in learning more about how the game played out and what strategies/mechanisms were successful.

I've looked through the pictures from 2000 and noticed that many teams tried to lift themselves straight up from directly under the bar, was this significantly better than lifting from an angle?

I noticed that many teams used an extendable scissor-lift mechanism (sorry, my terminology is abysmal) like the one in the attached picture. Is that type of system easy to build and effective?

Obviously, the answer to the next question depends on the mechanism you're using, but about how much time did it take to maneuver into the right position, lock onto the goal and pull yourself up?

Once you attach yourself to the bar how difficult was it to detach from the bar? How much time did it take?

We would greatly appreciate any insights or lessons you learned in 2000 that might be helpful this year.

Thank you,
Gabriel
