Re: FRC488 Camera Assisted Scoring Tests

I don't think I have any good pictures of the gripper yet and it'll be really hard to see on video -- especially on a phone. It's pretty straight-forward, though. We've got a piece of spring steel wrapped around an ~8" disc that is driven directly by a window motor. As it's extended out, it wraps around the tube from below. The triangle's crazy motion was it settling into place inside the wire loop.
