So then is the chain mobile? How did you do the battery strap? BTW: Awesome attention to detal

the chain is a sketch (2d plane) constrained to the 3d parts, if that part of the arm moved it would move too, but it doesn't need to.
The strap: I made one side of it using the line tool and offset tool. the buckle (if you can call so, not that good English =) I did by measuring a bag pack one and drawing on inventor

Thanks for the compliments
