We utilize clone labor. It's a secret. *
The gripper is made from a composite material consisting of end-grain balsa wood laminated with a fiberglass skin. Incredibly light and strong. The grippers rotate downwards (towards the camera) once the match begins and remain horizontal most of the time, riding up and down on the angled tracks.
The entire gripper + shuttle assembly weighs less than 20 pounds...including paint.
Stop by, say hello, and have a closer look if you're in NJ and Toronto.
