Looking good! Is that a triple jointed arm?
Nope, just two. The angled fixed joint where the gripper meets the wrist piece might be confused as a moving joint.

We did a roller claw in 2007 with good results, but with the varying diameters of the tubs, the tube grabbing sub-team decided to go with the inside grab...that is one part that remains quite similar amongst all the tubes!

It's geared for ~5 fps and ~12 fps...definitely the fastest bot we've built. Solid in practice at our shop...can't wait to test it out on a real field!
