They are running on modified AM 1 speed transmissions direct mounted to AM mecanum wheels. We do use suction cups to pick up the tubes and we do so quite efficiently. We can score on all three rows and in autonomous. All robots are as close to identacle as we could get them, but of coure there are wires here and there that went a stray.

The arm is a 3 stage lift run by another AM 1spd transmission powering a a single loop of chain. I will try to post some video to youtube later this week; all I have right now is one video of auto mode gone bad.
