Team 871/Grippers

Heh....it's great to see all the amazing gripper designs out there....some teams put so much work and thought into designing something that will work well....although we are a rookie team, it seems that many teams forget the basic rule of thumb: K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid)

Our gripper design is extremely simple...at first glance you may not even realize that it's a gripper or how it would work. I dont have any completed pictures right now, but I will take some pictures tomorrow to post up here....it is an almost guaranteed grip every single time regardless of our position/angle to the goal...i've seen so many teams over-engineer their gripper, and they need to be lined up correctly in order to grab the goal, heh....

well, I'll post up some pics tomorrow afternoon....and you'll also get to see our "mean wheels," shined aluminum sides (not to be mistaken for mirrors ), and bumpers (are other teams even using bumpers??....I havent seen any in any pictures yet )
