EDIT: After looking further, It looks like you might of cut that piece that curves around the axel.. I thought it was all one which made my jaw drop.

Thanks! We appreciate the kind words!

We figured more power, better drivetrain! I think the CIM+miniCIM might wind up being a little overkill, but I'd rather be stripping weight out then adding it in later, so we planned optimistically for an 8-motor drive.

The gripper mechanism is just a piece of #10awg 5xxx al sheet bent into a c-channel with an OTS hinge from mcmaster bolted to it with some drilled holes and PEM nuts.
