11/02/21 Grabber Meeting

for the box idea:

  • can actuate it with a rail so that the two sides go like this ← →

    • rack and pinion

    • rails

  • make grabber less bulky

  • see if just tension from the thermaband can hold the object

 

tension-closed, opens against tension

  • multi-pronged claw with elastic

  • reducing space it takes up??

    • moving this vertical motion to a horizontal motion

    • fold-away??

Perhaps a hybrid, using four “fingers”, two planes, and horizontal motion to reduce size

  • two fat ones and two skinny ones

Where to put thermaband/tensioning flexible material:

  • cat’s cradle
