A few things yet to do before ship - new lower shield, graphics, bumpers, flag, more code, but she’s pretty much finished and working well. Hopefully video will be available tomorrow. We’ll be competing at Midwest, Pittsburgh, Buckeye, and the Championship.
wow you posted it with my horrible soldering and all, J/k. I think we can make this thing look real nice, with the guarding and graphics.
Looking good Travis! All i can say is … our soldering is better hehe, and thats about it.
Black paint will hide all! Naw, these will be our “desperation spares”, as I’m sure future build revs of the grippers will be properly fabricated, now that you have learned the “Way of the Merolla”.
Besides, you created those solder joints to be designed-in failure points so the grippers will fall apart before the “hopelessly weak” copper tubing gets bashed in, right? 
#8 self-tapping sheet metal screws for the win.
