I'll take the general approach. Attachments, if need, should be constructed to fit the need for accomplishing the mission. Take for example, returning the doctor to base so you can send her back out to the patient area, the team would probably want to construct an attachment that captures, in some way, the doctor. It may, or may not be moveable. You will be surprised by the variety of solutions you see at a tournament. The team needs to construct something that best fits their approach to solving the mission Now, onto the moveable portion of the question. The only way teams I've coached have had moveable attachments is to have a motor on-board to drive the attachment (yes, I realize there are ways to have moveable attachments with out motors). As I said earlier, its all a matter of need and how the the team wants to construct the solution. I hope I'm making sense. If not, let me know and I'll try again.
