Re: pic: 294 cone grab mechanism aka: PREDATOR

That's an awesome view of it

We were actually 27/28, the one we missed we hit the hanging tetra, it swung back and forth, but it did not drop.

This also appears to be a view before we modified it. We were having difficulty holding on (a surprise for us) because the clovers on the tetras at SoCal were cut much deeper than the clovers at AZ. We had to decrease the ID of the cone. Due to some ingenious enginuity from one of our team members (awesome job!) we wrapped some surgical tubing around the posts, and we only had trouble once during the rest of the regional.

I'll be happy to answer any questions

-Daniel
