Re: 1726 arm prototype video
How much have you played with the geometry of the gripper fingers and the extension length? From the only two I got to see from 07, 25's had a really solid grip on the tubes with what seemed like only two direct contact points. Ours OTOH had the fingers wrap around the tubes. There might be some type of uniform design that'll work for all 3 tubes.
With tube
No tube
Open gripper
In action!
Hope it helps with more ideas for the gripper!
Good luck ya NERDS
