Well, finding kinks and fixing them is an ongoing process, but in total to make this thing, it took about four weeks maybe. A wooden prototype was built in 2-3 days, the next prototype took about a week and was used to figure out the location of the claws, the shoulder bolts used as pulleys and how to make that top piece connecting the three posts. The final product took nearly three weeks. I admit, it could have been completed in two weeks but everybody has their off-days right? Not too many kinks with this grabber though. Strings jammed, but solved. It needed to be able to rotate but spring back to its original position and took a day to incorporate it into the design. Whatever kinks there were, they were quite easy to overcome.
