The only difference is the middle finger is active, allowing it to load from the auto loader without moving the arm at all. There were talks of modifying the middle finger to once again store tetras, but I'm not sure what happened with that.
yeah since Detroit we've done both of those modifications
now the two side prongs of the pitchfork fold in using pnuematics, this really helps because it allows us to pick up tetras from in side the robot, which saves alot of time because we dont have to go back to the loader to get a new tetra every time we cap
