The pneumatic one worked fine for quals - where we used it to grab another can off the step with the lasso method seen at SVR. The geared version was shorter and not really designed for the same purpose. We also always hoped we wouldn't need to put the fast grabber on, as we could cheesecake two robots and could continue with our 20 pt autonomous, which also had us starting the match with a can in our grabber.
