there are 2 components of this system that need pnp, w/ variations in each category:
- tiles
- connectors
both can be picked in a couple of different ways. the two most popular ideas are mechanically, with a gripper, and pneumatically, w/ a vacuum pump.
initial experiments picking tiles with a gripper show that more iteration is necessary; the current thought is using pneumatics to pick instead.
for the connectors, grippers are still likely needed, given their odd geometry. if the connectors are re-engineered to have a flat surface, then pneumatic picking may work as well.
