Build a Mechanical Claw by Strawbees
Channel: Strawbees
Date: 2019-11-10

Each finger of this mechanical claw is a four-bar linkage, where one of the joints is a prismatic joint. This allows the machine to be handled by pushing and pulling a straw through a connector to open and close the 3 fingers of the claw around objects.
