There's one Lego piece that doesn't exist which for the crate

perhaps seven or nine 'holes' long, tapered along at one end a bit (say three
hole's worth), and rounded on the corners at that end too. This would allow for
a much more forgiving mechanism to reach under the crate. I don't think we'll
ever see that piece, though! :-)
Similar to this piece? http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/2823

That's close. I tried using it on one robot, I can't quite remember why I gave
up on it. Two things I can see at this time, though, are that it only has one
technic hole. It'd be much more useful with two or three that you could connect
to. And second that it's not quite as thick as a rounded beam on the 'lifting'
part.

It looks very nice, though. Thanks for reminding me to look at it again.
