We curved our grabber fingers upwardfor the same reason, as we had the same concern about that rule. We may even curve them more, as we are making spares in the event that they break during competition. It will also help us to hold on to the ball even better.

Were you guys at the Rochester scrimage? Pretty sure it was your robot I watched on the video doing the "reverse dunk." So far you are the only other team, besides us, that I have seen take that approach. Good luck at your regional!
