You were sandbagging at the Bellevue event, weren't you?

I was only at the event for about 45 minutes, so I wasn't doing much of anything at all, really -- unless by "sandbagging" you mean, "You were nearly killed by several robots overrunning the field," in which case, yes; yes, I was.

We'd originally planned to grab the tetras along the bottom so that we could stack one or more atop the tetra in the grabber, but that design became too complicated to work reliably. Instead, somewhere in the midst of week three, we stumbled upon the grabber we're using now and we've been very happy with its uses.

I'm attaching a fourth photo (in addition to those uploaded in the Gallery) that better illustrates the independent operation of Bonnie and Clyde.
