A suction cup assembly has a housing with an actuator in the housing. A flexible cup is coupled with the housing. The actuator
movement causes the flexible cup to move between at least two positions. In a first position the flexible cup moves into an
increased volume position. In a second position the flexible cup moves into at least a neutral volume position. In the increased
volume position the flexible cup seals with a surface. In the neutral volume position the flexible cup releases from the surface.
