971's offseason robot had can grabbers made of carbon fiber, and they go decently fast. It's kinda similar to my can grabbers, so I wouldn't worry as much about snapping.

If I wanted to aim for the opening in the lid, how would one physically make that sort of geometry? It's not like one can bend carbon fiber to meet its needs (or can you?). Would the solution here be to use like 1x1 box tubing with the appropriate angle brackets? Or is there some better solution?
