Go to Harbor Freight and get the long point needle nose pliers. Regular price is $1.89, I've seen them on sale for $1. Buy one for every roboteer. You rip a front tooth out or forbid a veneer off a roboteer ....

You are right they are a pain. I spent today building an combo Omni-bot/tower/arm lifter. You can also take 3/4 to 1" dowel, cut to 3"-4" lengths, put a 1/4 x 1/4" hole in it and now you have a pin pusher. I've made a few dozen, plus the pliers and handed them out at events to teams that are having problems.
The newer pins are not as tight, and I think they are shipping with the new kits.
NO TEETH!!!
