Re: Bridge Manipulator
Sorry to ask, but aren't the "triangle" from 846 and the "straight" wedge from 233 just different implementations of the same thing? They are both passive manipulators, unless I have misunderstood the design of 233's system.
Either way, we had passive wedges with a triangular arm on each edge of the robot and a lexan strip between them. We also had locks on each arm so we could put all our weight behind the manipulators. Except for the rare time when the lock failed to engage correctly, we barely had to slow down to climb the bridge. We were very happy with their performance overall.
