We got a new claw for the Fanuc, I put texture tape around the claw to get it to grip the cup. I made a lot of progress considering I thought this task would be one of the more difficult ones, even though it sounds easy. I started the Fanuc program and got it to grab a cup out of the cup holder. Unfortunately, I was only able to test this once because the Fanuc crashed into the cupholder and broke one side of the claw. I tried gluing it back together but nothing would hold it on. I wanted to drill holes into the plywood for the food dispensers but was missing a part to the hole saw kit.
