First pick and place in the books! Note that in our dry run, we enabled both nozzles and it was a lot faster to grab and place both parts in a single pass, but for this video Jason disabled the 2nd nozzle because we have a HIWIN rail/slide on the head that keeps sticking. Not sure if we should get a more powerful spring or what. Robotdigg was kind enough to send us a new rail/slide to replace it with, but it is just a rough as the one it replaces.

Here is the successful pick/place:
