How many teams using grippers?

[exokiba]

I was just curious out of all the teams out there how many of them will actually use grippers and how many will find other methods of picking up the tubes...think of it almost like a poll

You know you can attach polls to your threads.

On-topic, we only had one meeting since Saturday, so we have almost no idea what we're even doing yet. I have some ideas for grippers that I want to run past the team tomorrow, including using two wheels to collect and hold a tube in the gripper, and another idea that I saw in some '07 matches. Basically, pick up the tubes from the inside. It's easier this year, since there's no "foot" at the end of the pegs, but you also have to account for the three shapes.

Were going too. We're still deciding on the best way to do it, if we should grab from the top or from the front. Most likely will end up being top.

When you create a new thread, it will show up at the bottom of the "Additional Options" section. It's very easy to overlook.
