Are you guys worried about the big black wire dangling off the side? It could be an entanglement issue, unless you've already fixed that problem.

It's a piece of IGUS cable chain, to carry the pneumatic tubing and wires running up to the grabber. It never leaves the footprint of the robot, but it does flop around a bit. 968 has been practicing with theirs run inside the elevator, which has worked well, so we'll probably do the same for the comp bot.

How is the elevator mechanism actuated? |
Two big CIM's are driving a 2" spool that pulls a cable attached to the grabber
