But then again you may say it fits in one of these catagories Elgin since you saw it Saturday.

We also have a hook used for extra height. Our robot was the only robot at UCF with a claw. Most all of our parts were hand cut/fabricated by us. I actually cut out the claws my self. Well 2 out of 3. I fixed the third one though. ;p

Edit: That picture was taken before the robot was finished. If you were at UCF you saw it with all the graphics and such. There's not a lot that's different. It's just prettier. Oh and a few parts on the claw ended up changing after this picture was taken. Just some brackets. Nothing major.

Re: How are you picking up the tetras?

We pick up the tetra inside and lifting up with a chain/forklift design. Very simple. We can load from the human player station as well as the Auto load very efficiently. Whichever one is more conveniant... we go to... We can pick them up off the ground as well...
