The gripper changed. The main problem with the other one was that we had to tilt it to get to the floor, and that the opening was too small, making it hard to center on the ringers.
The new one is simpler, lighter and way more efficient (apparently).
No risk of offending us with your comment. We are always our own fiercest critics anyways and many of us wanted a new gripper from day 1 of GLR.
Francois.
Edit: let's not forget 703 with their huge carbon fiber ramp, or 374 (or is it 394? 397? sorry, i forgot) with their very efficient gripper.
