Arcade Claw Game Claw Build

So the linkage used in the original design didn't work. The linkage would pinch during movement stopping movement completely. So it was back to the drawing board with that, but the new design is much improved. The servo can rotate freely in the new assembly without pinching allowing for smooth rotation and actuation. I will post pictures and videos very soon as well as a list of materials and some basic build instructions.

Projects are always awesome when you begin the prototyping phase, but it rarely goes smoothly. The current design had too much slop around driving rod, needed another point of contact for the driving rod, slightly more robust parts, and needing better fitting hardware. But even will all these changes needing to be made, the result is definitely visible. More updates soon as the new parts have just come off the printer :)
