Re: Vaccuum gripper

My team briefly considered the possibility, but it seems like it would be expensive to build your own.
furthermore, it would be effective for holding the tubes, but it seems like it would be difficult to position them the right way. i don't know. maybe not so difficult.

how were you planning on building it? would it hold the tube from the top or the sides?
