The best part about your gripper is watching your hard hat wearing human player run out there and shove a tetra up into the gripper. Unfortunately, it fell back down once, but that is what the hard hat is for I guess. I also like how you can release the tetras independently.
Now if you can just stop that telescoping arm from falling apart (you called it the "Hindenburg Impression" but I call it "Jenga"
) you will all set. It seemed like it fell apart less on Saturday than on Friday, so hopefully by Championship time it will not fall apart anymore.
