Built up on a modified SquareBot frame, it can lift and cap tetras pretty well.
The tetras were made by my girlfriend, and she also helped me build the U shaped arm upgrade from my original angle L design. The tetras and goals are straws tied and taped together, don't know exactly how she did it, but it's pretty cool.

So why did you duct tape the end of the manipulator?

Conor, it wasn't so much insufficient reduction as touchy controls 
Once I switched to single joystick drive, I could use the other joystick for precision controls, much better.
The duct tape is meant to hold tetras better, it seems to work...

Looks very nice. Thanks for sharing the video with me. I am going to give you the same advice that one of my mentor gave me.
"Keep tweaking it until you are satisfied."
