Re: pic: Claw of doom (571)

what a GIGANTIC claw. i can see why you call it the claw of doom. Will you be able to get the yellow ball off the top of the movable with this claw? or r you just intending to get the one off the top of the platform?

Re: pic: Claw of doom (571)

yeah, it gets it off the moveable fine. It's only huge in its open position - it gets a LOT smaller when its closed for storage and stuff. the bigness gives you a much wider target when your trying to get the ball, something that will probably be helpful if we're extending it out to grab the middle one.

all in all, it weighs about 6 or 8 pounds.

oh yeah, and its on an arm that goes up about 11 feet.

Re: pic: Claw of doom (571)

I would think that sucker would make you... somewhat top-heavy. Can you explain how you are going to get it up to full height and not be prone to tipping?
