Shawn,

After seeing 188 work out at our practice facility, we knew we needed to work hard if wanted to match the quality of their end effector. (For those who haven't seen it, I predict it will win them at least one design award this season) Although similar in shape, they vary greatly in function. We found that the tetra shaped device really helps stabilize the tetra, and provides a greater level of consistency for the drivers.

We have another end-effector that was shipped in our crates. I can't reveal any details, but it has the potential to be a crowd pleaser.
