Wraps is the number of wraps of surgical tubing on each side of each arm. Through all of Elims on saturday we ran the arms with 4 wraps on each side (16 total). I don't have pictures of our grabber at the moment but you can PM me and I can send/post some pictures when our robot gets back. The design was pretty straight forward. The mechanism was a four bar linkage with surgical tubing pulling two opposite corners together which drove the arm forward.

I heard you guys were stupid fast but I never managed to get any footage of you which I was disappointed about.

I personally do not have a good video from the actual field in Curie. |
I had one video of you guys but I started filming a little too late so the video starts when you guys are about half way to the can, your grabbers were super fast though.

I can upload video if people want it, as of right now I have about 4 gb of video but I can just upload the clips from saturday since that's where 90% of this data came from.
