the arms are so much more wobbly and kerbal than I expected

Yeah, they do seem a bit janky. What do you think the odds of a successful booster catch on IFT-5 are? Above or below 50%?

The redesigned arms which arrived for Pad B are shorter, which will hopefully reduce the wobble.

I guess like 80% based on how confident spacex seem to be about it?

I doubt they'd risk their valuable tower and surrounding equipment if they weren't pretty confident about it
