Re: Design Challenge: Baton

1. Doesn't break! If you're going to have a fancy, manipulative end effector that's going to be in rough competition, it's got to be sturdy.
2. Small. For this reason:if you need to manuever a long object into a small spot (just speculation), it should be as unbulky as possible. No need to complicate the problem.
