Description
This is a small robotic claw designed to pick up a can of Red Bull Shot. It was really an exercise to make the simplest possible mechanism that would get the job done, with the least number of parts and as small as possible. It works quite well, even though the pincers could do with a little bit more friction for a better grip (add rubber bands?)

Instructions
1. Insert a nut into the underside of servobox.stl
2. Fit servobox.stl over the mini servo
3. Attach rightpincer.stl to the shaft with the servo accessories (it might be a good idea to screw it in place)
4. Attach leftpincer.stl with a M3 screw

Printed this and played with it as part of our introduction to Arduino course at House4Hack (a hackerspace in Pretoria, South Africa) Check it out: http://www.house4hack.co.za/ro...
Wow, that's great! I'm glad this thing was useful and that it was used to teach some Arduino skills! Looks like a pretty cool hackerspace you've got there....
