Re: Poll: Picking up tubes

Our gripper literally just sucks the tube up and holds it in a consistent position no matter how much it is hit. It uses a limit switch to make sure we did not suck the tubes in too far.
For us its pretty nice in that there is no real aiming/postitioning (other than driving towards it of course) required to grab the pieces, literally we just move towards it and it suck it up, it doesn't even push it forward if we hit it. Which compared to our previous robots is a really nice feature.
