Asked Apr 2013 — Edited Jul 2013

Hi guys for my project I'm building a Terra Nova rover based on the curiosity rover that is currently on Mars and I wan't my rover to have a robotic arm with a joint what parts can I use to make my robotic arm. Also I'm planing the robotic arm to be able to grab items around it's surroundings. Do you guys have any ideas on what the robotic grabber can look like? Cheers William.

I posted this in a different thread, but you might find it a useful idea for the claw. The picture is just an approximation of a claw that I saw in industry. It was designed to pick up many oddly shaped items. Obviously the claw opened and closed. The rubber bands conformed to whatever shape was inside, and provided grip.
