Looks good. Does it handle all of the Game Pieces with similar effectiveness?

[TheOtherGuy]

Neat! I've seen plenty of roller claws before, but that seemed particularly fluid. What's the weight?

[Colin P]

We have a similar design, but can't figure out what to use for the belting. What did you use?

We have a similar design, but can't figure out what to use for the belting. What did you use?Try using polycord, or its more generic name, round belting.

Looks great, very smooth and controlled tube rotation. Good luck.

Is it heavy?

[PingPongPerson]

I am not sure about exact weight, but it is fairly heavy, as the plastic is quite dense. We may change to another material to lighten it.

Yes it does. It can even pick up the tubes from the corners. The only slight problem it has is sometimes it has difficulty picking up the circle from the very edge.

How does it handle the triangle and square?

Awesome work, btw :)

Edit: didn't see above post :rolleyes:

We use two motors, and only spin one to turn
