Re: Programming the last thing a robot does...

Speaking as someone almost entirely ignorant of programming, I can only really describe things I have seen done in the past. I do know, however, that last year, the programmers were able to make our gripper release the tube whenever the robot was shut off... I will ask them more about this and get back to you.
