The grabbers are coupled to the robotic arm at the first end. The sensor is positioned inside the 5 recessed portion of the robotic arm at a first distance from the first end and at a first angle. The preparation cup is coupled to wings having a body portion, a first extended portion, and a second extended portion. The body portion is coupled to a portion of the preparation cup, the first extended portion extends in a first direction and the second extended portion extends in a second direction. The wings are 10 operable to be magnetically coupled to the plurality of grabbers via the first and second extended portions. 20 2416b 12 16a
