I've never liked the pressure pads. This just confirms my suspicions: Pressure pads hate robots. It must be some inferiority complex or something. - Andy A. [more]

The goal was definitely to have minimal impact on machining resources (gotta save all that complex stuff for the manipulator!), and keep cost down.

The effective diameter is about 4.375. It is a little rough ride, as the design goes, so I'll be doing some incremental changes to address the problem.
