Re: Manipulators: Claws are old news!
Ya, obvisouly for their acronym, they wanted something a little catchy. I'd KISS and staywith SOFT. Of course, no one would want that... But, I agree with someof the previous things said. A pnumatic suction system is not as good as some type of claw.
Plus, I bet if a few robotics teams came together and pooled their resources, we could come up with a more efficient and effective design then an air-powered grabber.
I still think a crane or claw-type mechanism would work a lot better than the air... I wonder how much psi they get in thoes tanks?
