Lightbulb Re: Tetra Manipulators

i thought that it would be a good idea to have an arm the has a 60 or so dergee angle on it so you can hold two of the base sides for a better hold then have it clamp down on the pvc, and lift it up like a fork lift
___ <-- fork lift type structure
|| <- arm
||
/\

/\ <--tetra, with out the third side

imagine it from looking down at it, also imagine that the arm has about a 60 degree angle on it because if i remember right tetras have 60 degree angles. then have it drive up to it get it with in the arm angles and then with the two grabbers on each end clamp down and use the fork lift mechanism to lift it up and cap the goal
