That's the sweetest blue I have ever seen. Please don't let it be any darker than what it is pictured.
Are you guys worried about the big black wire dangling off the side? It could be an entanglement issue, unless you've already fixed that problem.

It's a piece of IGUS cable chain, to carry the pneumatic tubing and wires running up to the grabber. It never leaves the footprint of the robot, but it does flop around a bit. 968 has been practicing with theirs run inside the elevator, which has worked well, so we'll probably do the same for the comp bot.

Wow, gorgeous design, and very nice wheels :) I can't wait to see this at LA.
How is the elevator mechanism actuated?

Two big CIM's are driving a 2" spool that pulls a cable attached to the grabber
