Re: pic: we're done

I am assuming you were testing the effect of the raised tetra on your robot's center of gravity and quickly learned that it shifted far forward of your drive wheels and much higher.

Did you give any consideration to using outriggers to stabilize the robot during the lifting and capping action? One or two pneumatically supported devices extending from the front of the robot may be sufficient to keep the machine from tipping over.

Just a thought...
