We're still doing some CAD studies before we prototype one up but it sure seems like a cool way to have a huge opening and then grab an object using a neatly packaged pneumatic actuator.
Will there be some way to take the vertical loads and twisting forces on the grippers other than the two scissor jacks on each side? Scissor jacks are not very good at taking side loads and probably wont work well when twisted.
