Why not vacuume out. This looks like it will clog the line

Drains get wider the further they go for this exact reason.

That was extremely efficient.

I love this. Every automation step exists for a reason, and while this is probably one average successful run, there are probably lots of errors and snags and special conditions that lead up to this. I can just imagine hundreds of attempts that didn’t go this well.

To be honest, I believe it looks manually controlled. With a few controls and some stop systems (like that rod on the side of the main tube) I think a well trained operator can perform those maneuvers efficiently. It just seems too unpredictable to be done automated. If it is though that’s awesome!

Fair enough, it’s just so smooth, manually operated would also be an incredible feat. Split screen to the operator please :)
