Description

My objective was to deliver practical movement of objects for lightweight use cases.

This is a very flexible design that can be strengthen and improved easily, and as you can see in the videos, it can be Computer Vision enabled quite easily.

It has the ability to be a very low cost and functional design, with ability to move objects close to 1 meter and very reliable for small items.
