the whole idea is this is better than a claw - a good example of biomimicry - copying the way that bilogical creatures do things, the way that birds fly, fish swim, bugs climb walls, or in this case the way an elephant can pick up a peanut, or pull a tree out of the ground with the same manipulator (its trunk).

Ok well me and my claw weilding tenticle thing or for that matter just a claw wielded by a normal arm type mechanism will take you and your
plain tenticle on any day. we will see what can pick up more objects like a cd or other flat object...the tenticle is still cool tho
