Re: 103 Inventor Teaser

The inventor looks awesome.
I just have a question on the functinality of the device. What is the leftmost cylinder used for? It looks like it has the rightmost cylinder mounted on it for dual positioning.
If they are linked to dual position, wouldn't they both have to be extended right now for the claw to be closed? This looks as though it could also be an intermediate position where only one cylinder of the 2 would be extended, but they both appear retracted at this angle. I have seen the bot in the pits at NJ but just looked at all of the leadscrews. If someone could explain that real quick to me it would be excellent. Something in my head just isn't clicking.

Thanks,
-Henry
