176's gripper mechanism got whacked sideways as 88 was driving past us yesterday @ Suffield. It was purely accidental, as our operator should have folded our gripper inside the frame, but couldn't because of CAN errors.

Long story short, our bottom half of the gripper twisted sideways, and had to be unbent quite a bit before it could be used again.

We're lucky that the strike didn't effect the rest of the wrist, which in turn would have twisted our wrist gearbox, and probably pushed it off the linear slider on our elevator, making a huge, time consuming mess.
