The one that locks the whole lift in place is pneumatic. It’s a piston that connected to a ziptie that acted like a piece of string, pulling a 2-wide piece of metal with short standoffs positioned to latch onto one of our cross-supports.
The ones on the lift are 3x1 bendy bars that have been cut so one of the squares has an opening on the top that fits the 2-wide metal that holds all of our lift’s moving parts. The bendy bars have rubber bands that let them latch on and stay latched.
Sorry for my rather crude explanation - I can try to get photos for both of these tomorrow but the former may have been dismantled.
photos might help with the explanation; but thanks for the info!

What does this have to do with their robot this year?
How did you do at worlds last year? Did you make it into elimination? Did you even qualify?
To properly address your question yes we made to worlds and made it into eliminations and were pretty good. We lost to 400x in semi’s because we only had low lift so maybe you should be so quick to judge.
Responded good luck with ze skills of programming
