At first when I saw the other pics I thought that gripper might have been too large to be any good but with a tube that gripper doesn't look so oversize.
I like the idea of using the wheels on the end of the fingers... shouldn't have to worry much about popping a tube.
Wish you guys were coming to Palmetto Regional in South Carolina... would like to see that gripper in action.
Well Good Luck and Have FUN!

Depending on how many helium baloons we can find (or how good we get at carbon fiber n such), one or two full width ramps....
