For Gateway we decided that we would only pick up one game piece at a time and score it very quickly. In the end we decided to go with a single-jointed arm, but we also built a lift prototype that I think was pretty cool. If only it was a little faster, we would have probably used it after working out some issues
when i first looked at it i was like, “oh it’s just a multistage lift with an arm”. Now i realized the chain actually continues and attaches to the arm.
For the non Brits on the forum, the Maestro was another unfortunate attempt at making a car by British Leyland in the 80’s that I remember well. Hopefully there are not too many left on the road.
