Hey Purple! How did you obtain the drawings we used to do our machining with? Seriously though, that ASCII drawing is way cool.

It was funny how that final design finally came about. We kept adding pieces to the arm until the tetras stopped falling off. I wish I could say we did this crazy analysis using quatum, chaotic, neural, fuzzy, self-organizing, genetic, fractal algorithms to find the optimal angles and sizings. But nope, just until it stop falling off or getting stuck in the robot.
