As I recall it sprouted from a discussion about last year's pinching mechanisms. We were talking about the benefits of a wide grabber and this concept emerged.

How are you going to configure your manipulator such that it doesn't extend past the front C-Channel before the start of the match?
That's a whole separate problem to work with...I think that rule ruins a lot of peoples' days

We think we have that part figured out as well. As a matter of fact, I think the manipulator we're considering at the moment would stay in the 60" cylinder with this gripper attached.
Here's a hint as to the approach we're taking.
