ABSTRACT:
A robotic shuttle for moving a storage media cartridge from a first location to a second location in a storage library subsystem, said robotic shuttle riding on a linear bearing surface in the storage library subsystem. The shuttle has a frame with at least two ports for receipt and discharge of the storage media cartridge. A rocker beam is rotatably attached to said frame, with one end of the beam protruding from one of the ports and the other end of the beam protruding from the other of said ports. The beam is fitted with rotating drive rollers that move the storage media cartridge when they come into contract with it. The direction of movement of the cartridge depends upon the direction of rotation of the drive rollers.
