Me model the lengths in CAD? I'm useless at that stuff! I can make simple CAD images for getting an idea of how a robot will look but that's about it
No the flipper linkage will indeed be a whole heap of trial and error; pretty much a case of
*drill hole here* *test* *not that great*
*drill hole there* *test* *hmm, a bit better*
Lather, rinse and repeat

It was actually seeing Jigsaw's mechanism as well as some vids of it in action that made me want to make a front-hinge flipper and then a combination of being a Cassius II fan and not wanting my robot to look like a rip-off of Jigsaw/Envy that made my mind up about building a mini replica of Cassius II
