Didn't Tandy sell some plastic grabby tatty tank like this in the 80s?
I can find the Radio Shack 'Iron Claw', but can't remember if it was the same thing. I think perhaps I got the look of it confused with their long-running robot arm.

That's a new one on me
I've not seen that before, I could have just bought one of those and saved myself a bunch of time, lol!

I built something similar a while ago that would give it a run for its money.

I think they would rather demolish it.
I love the tracked one, but I think you need to work on the speed of your linear actuators though! Not going to catch any knackers with a slow claw no matter how fast the tracks are...
