Description

150 gram(ish) battlebot. (Fleaweight for America, Antweight for the rest of the world) We've been LOVING our flippers and my 8-year-old son is getting VERY good at strategy with them. My 10-year-old daughter really wanted a horizontal grabber. I thought, if we're going to grab them, we should pick them up. I wasn't finding any great models out there for horizontal grabbers. (I found some awesome bots in videos, but no models.) I am an engineer, so I thought, if I'm going to design something, couldn't it grab and lift... with ONE servo... So, completely "borrowing" from so many amazing builders out there, I bring you the prototype of "Copper Claws" (a nod to Copperhead because Robert Cowan is awesome and because I couldn't get coat-hangers to bend easily enough without damaging my "borrowed" Vex pieces)(I'd like to also credit Emmanuel Carrillo with inspiration, and Ben Hay with the baseplate from the easy-spinner)
