They actually have a robot called Octograbber or Roomba. I'm not sure why it wasn't deployed.

  As the article explains, they hadn't yet modified it so it could grab a Falcon 9 Heavy center booster.

    That's a bit of an oversight. Isn't that like a $40 million oversight, depending on how you count it?

  I believe the current design doesn't work with the center core because it has a modified octaweb to connect to the two side cores.
