Basically, you put coffee grounds in a bag/balloon and then suck out all the air. It holds on to damned near anything. <ref>[http://creativemachines.cornell.edu/sites/default/files/PNAS10_Amend.pdf Universal robotic gripper based on the jamming of granular material]</ref>

"Universal contact grippers with granular vacuum jamming pads provide very high possibilities of grasping irregular shapes, but currently these systems still have speeds and grasp reliability which are too low for normal P&P operations." <ref>[http://revistas.inia.es/index.php/sjar/article/viewFile/2437/1559 Review. Technologies for robot grippers in pick and place operations for fresh fruits and vegetables]</ref>

Skycam's major components:
*The Reel: motors that spin spools that control cables
[http://images.digitalmedianet.com/2004/Week_49/s0t2o1sl/story/skycam_reel.jpg image of reel]
*The cables are kevlar ropes. Steel would be too heavy and dangerous. <ref>[http://www.nytimes.com/2005/01/06/technology/circuits/06howw.html NYT, A Chance to Peek Over the Quarterback's Shoulder]</ref>
*The winches are driven by 20hp or 4.5hp (depending on the system) motors that can spin up to 3,000rpm
*The Spar: the camera and support assembly
The spar weighs about 15kg. <ref>[http://www.todaygadgets.com/2010/06/24/about-skycam-technology/ todaygagets, about skycam technology]</ref>
*Central Control: the main computer
"The camera's position is updated 200 times each second by the Overdrive motion control software, which runs on RTLinux..."<ref>[http://www.cablecam.com/News.aspx?id=209 ars technica on skycam]</ref>
 
*Takes 9 people 4 days to setup <ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGcYHt4qa3g&feature=player_embedded#! costoncampus video]</ref>
*The system uses two ropes. One controls x-axis movement and the other y-axis movement. Z-axis movement is controlled by moving both ropes together. Each rope can support the weight of the camera in the event that the other rope breaks.
