While it is more complex than say, a simple hook with no actuator, it does the job well. When I saw it, it didn't look particularly heavy either. The obvious advantage to it is that once it grabs a tetra, no one is going to get it off and it is well controlled.

Nice job Nonnebots!

Thank You Jaine. As you saw at the UTC Scrimmage, we have a lot of faith in our claw. We spent a large amount of time working out every possible kink and have designed the 'grabber' to be light weight and efficient. Look for this awesome design (Thanks Bruce) in action at Rochester.
