Full scale grabber prototype! This weekend I will try to 3D print mockups of the rest of the assembly to do some tests. Fits into Fissure's chassis via the spinner axle, so will use that as a test bed.

Sweet! Love the design
that looks really cool
Ok, with a new contest coming up next month, its time to get this thing built!
Here is my current cad file, complete with 100% stupid big claw thing. Will aim to finish up the cad side this week and then its onto sorting out hardox flatpack goodness.
Whole frame and claw is set to be 4mm hardox 500 at the moment. With a Ranglebox Neptune running the upper claw, a fat high geared motor running the lower claw, and a pair of Saturns running the drive.
ESC's will be TZ85's, reflashed, and moved into a custom made nylon case with a nice chunky heatsink and bus bar.
GOGOGO!

Damn! Can't wait to see that in the flesh? Steel? Anyway... looking awesome! I'd also like the post but it seems the button has vanished :P
Still working on motor arrangements. Weapon actuation seems nice though:
So cool and unique, love it
It does look really amazing... I really hope that gear system doesn't get attacked. Unless you were gonna guard it somehow?
Looks awesome, love seeing well engineered designs like this
Well engineered?! HA! I have no clue what I'm doing, it just looks coolIf it doesn't face plant instantly when lifting a proper load then I will be impressed.
@R9000 - Sprocket guards coming soon!
