comes in at a tidy 124g, maybe time for a bigger servo :P work needs to be done on it, like parts for where it conects but got plenty of room and time to do that.
concept drawing :roll:

as you can see it hasn't change much from the "design"
video, the claw is not great because it was bodged on with hot glue as i need more 2mm drillbits.

That is looking really good there Haz it makes me think about making some other options for the latest Variant which at the moment, with only the spinner, is anything but.

You see Weston, if Infinity had done that, Aberystwyth would never have lost the university challenge. :D

Nice design Haz but Napalm Death does doth not fear it. 8) May have something to do with lack of a roof. :lol:

What you need now is a four inch cube spinning cylinder... :wink:

Going off topic slightly (apologies) I'd like to second that, I owe James several apologies for keeping on borrowing his spreadsheets to check when and who I'm fighting next...

Black Stabbath is indeed absolutely brilliant, there's not a single dislikeable thing about it...is the current claw a big bit of titanium or something else? I would possibly look into scavenging a metal servo horn as (long term at least) I can see that being a bit of a weak link - I've got some I'd give you but there is a slight geographical problem at the moment ^^;;
