Re: Dissadvantages of Suction?

For what it's worth, we looked at suction pretty hard in 2007, and ended up abandoning the idea. We could never get a system together that could reliably pick up the tubes without requiring extreme precision, and the battery requirements for it are pretty intense. We've steered away from suction ever since.
