Re: pic: Team 188 Grabber

Heh, Innovation in Control went to 1006 at Pittsburgh this round for their use of the vision camera in autonomous.

We arent able to swing the tetra around because we raise and lift the entire mechanism on an elevator lift system, which was proving to be somewhat troublesome in Pittsburgh, though we are confident that these problems have been ironed out by now. We are able to release on at a time because there are two levels of grabber claws with two seperate pistons attached. One button drops the bottom set of claws, while the other drops both claws at once. The clicking sound it makes is quite satisfying indeed =P.

To Team 22, some of us saw you in FLR during week 1, and we seriously cant wait to get down to California. I think even I have had enough winter weather for this year. (Insert more typically Canadian comments here)

Looks cool!
