Re: Should we rebuild our robot to be an autonomous container grabber?

If you... (or anyone else considering this for that matter) wish to go in this direction... check out 3310 (fast 2 can) and 2848 (4 can).

Note 3310... grabs cans in 0.25 of a second!

I'm guessing a lot of top tier robots will end up adding a similar capability on their robots, so what probably will happen is a multiple robot / 2-can auton going on... in which case can probably beat the 4rc.

It will be interesting to see the outcome of a tug-a-war case, and who will let go... and who neglected to add that feature... etc.
