My later viewings of earlier reveal videos (without the same immediacy) did not make me think otherwise.
Different grippers, different arms, different manipulators, they're all out there. Like many FRC robot teams, there is a "common core" that is built on, but the build-on is different every year.


I do recall Dave saying something to that effect, but it was *just* a *couple* years ago (er, closer to a decade).
