My first post was a poor attempt at a bit of humor to go along with the early part of the thread. It came just prior to Alex posting the picture of the hook on the robot.
It was sort of a two part pun.

Quote:
I think it may actually be under designed. That's right, under designed.

Do you see a cable attachment point? How about a mounting mechanism? All I can say is, without the rest of the lifting system, this is very questionable.





Buuuuwaaaaahaha.
The first part was pointing to the fact that the hook did not appear to have any obvious means of attaching it to a lifting mechanism, be it am arm or cable. The second part was a reference to the fact that it is shaped like a question mark.

Now, after Alex posted the second picture, the design intent became much clearer. Thus my edit with an additional reference back to earlier posts.

Quote:
OK, now that the second image is available, it answers my question.


Ohhhh, I did it again!
