Gripper Arm
The newest thing to take up even more of my ever diminishing free time is a robotic arm with a gripper... using this guy
and some of the aluminum brackets like those used in Wally and Scooter.
I'm a bit farther along than in the picture by having the wrist pitch motion bracket connected. Now to get ready for work.
Pictures to come...

PS - I kind of freaked my roommate by having the gripper in my jacket sleeve, connected to a cheap servo tester and telling her I'd had an accident in the kitchen. (Well, it was funny at the time!) :-)

That's a really nice execution of a commonly used design. They actually used locknuts and bushings on a plastic gripper!?!?!? That gives you a low-cost, lightweight gripper, that will actually function smoothly and reliably. Bookmarked for a future shopping trip........
but there are probably other sources.
I think I need to add two more DOF... one more for additional pitch (more extension... shoulder, elbow, wrist) and (certainly) one more for traverse. Plenty o' parts on hand, just little free time! :-(

PS - Some missing hardware. Just a test fit.
