Are you able to pick up multiple tetras at once with this grabber or just one?

Just one at a time, from the human loader (me in most cases).

Although I think Chairman's/EI is more important, I do enjoy having a robot that can compete well (last place at Newton was pretty rough). This is our best robot ever (better than the 2001 Co-Champ robot according to many sources), and it feels good. You can check out how we developed this mechanism
here.
Thanks for the kind words everybody!

...I tried to pump it up to the 47 inches. I stopped around 42 inches, than tried getting it through a 36" door. It got stuck, I proceeded to dropkick the thing in front of my team and a girl I had gone out with the previous Fri. It didn't move, I hit the floor.
Ouch, my pride. - ChrisMcK2186 [more]
