Re: Canburglar Mechanisms
Team mean machine has been developing some burglars in the gaps between events. Unfortunately, we had literally no weight to spare, (after factoring in other planned changes) so the whole thing had to be less than the weight lost by switching to mini cims (2.5 lbs).

Our current iteration has two modular mechanisms that can grab one RC each in about 0.5 sec. They attach with two bolts each, so they are easy to cheesecake. Each one weighs 1 lb and 2.3 oz!

I'll try to post a picture when I get a chance. Otherwise, they will hopefully be seen at pnw this weekend.
