toms just about right
somehow ones bent in where 2 bits of box meet each other-where they've been welded, where the claws pivot the box section has twisted and distorted so its not box shaped anymore, where the pivot bolt goes into the claws i welded a section of steel plate and drilled through that aswell for the pivot bolt to make the hole strong through each side of the box section but even the holes in the 5mm thick steel plate have distorted/streched and you can wobble the claws up and down freely, one claws completly twisted anyway from major damage few events ago when i had to hammer it flat again. push rods goin from the actuator to each claw- holes on them are now pretty much like egg shapes and one is curved still from when major damage bent the claw up it bent the push rod with it.
not too sure about making the claws in the same way again thou because they might jus get damaged the same again, might look at getting some made properly like on kan opener, will have to see
but rest of the robots fine.
