I remember lining up against you in the eliminations at championships with our can grabber. We were concerned enough about your can grabber beating ours that we put extra surgical tubing on our can grabber.

I mention this because the only time prior that we had put that much surgical tubing on our can grabber, we stripped out the two gears that operated the can grabber by ripping off 3 or more teeth on each gear. Your team was our first competition test with it and we were terrified it would happen again that way, but we were equally worried you would beat us if we didn't.
