Thats what i was thinking. If you don't drive into the large tetra stacks (over the pvc bars and such) your robot will have to reach about 2 feet in to get it over the top of the stack. But after that just lower your arm/forklift/whatchamacallit down and i'm pretty sure the tetra will sort itself into a nice position.

I guess the question is, are other teams going to be knocking tetras from your grasp. Without an actuating grabber your tetras could easily go flying.
