It was a 4 RC grabber. The students spent nearly 7 weeks developing the system. They agreed that we had to scrap it after seeing 3310's 2 RC grabber. 1 second just isn't fast enough.

It is quite an engineering marvel though, I'll post a video of it in action when I get back from Japan.

I'm proud of the students, they built the 2 RC grabber (totally different mechanism) in less than 2 weeks, and it clocks in somewhere around .3 seconds. They're currently iterating on that design right now.
