Re: Suction gripper

You can design a claw that grabs from the inside of the cone. That way gravity will keep it in place. You can add to that by putting a piston or linear actuator parallel to the arm of the gripper to push the cone onto the horizontal pole. I can CAD what I mean but after our build season.
