Re: Vacuums!
Has anyone else found that the suction cups really suck?
all puns aside... our team experimented alot with them and found that they were far from perfect, not only do they add a lot of weight, they take time to connect to the tubes [for the suction to build up] and are fairly easily knocked off the robot.
im thinking of trying the piston method as suggested above, since thats weight efficient and would probably be fairly powerful.
but i think custom suction cups are the way to go
