Abstract
A robotic arm containing a plurality of telescoping tubes including a trailing tube and a leading tube, and a pneumatic line secured to the trailing tube. The plurality of telescoping tubes being sealed during telescoping movement to prevent air leakage. The robotic arm is thus configured to have a relatively long stroke in the z-direction to grasp items stored within containers housed underneath a grid upon which the robot is supported.
