. . . that is the most in depth explaination of our grabber that I have heard, even we were building it.

Thanks Dave.
We came up with the idea ( when our power was out immediately after kickoff for several days ) we were at the school that had heat and power playing with tetras made from drinking straws. When my father, Dan Newby ( our machine shop mentor), and myself was playing ideas and used the top of a bottle and a paper clip through the bottle. Our little model worked fairly well, so we extended the idea to what everyone saw at VCU.
I was quite impressed with the attention that we received over it.
I'm attempting to find pictures of the inside of it so everyone can see.
