Hey everyone! This was my entry into an unofficial NXT challenge. It is a mobile (skid steer) grabbing and lifting arm it uses a clever mechanism to grab and lift. It was designed so that the heavier the object was the more it would grip the object. The driving system was also tricky because the axles kept bending under the weight of the NXT. All in all I got it to lift a little over .25 liters of water and still be able to drive Here are some more picture a video and info here: http://www.nxtgeek.blogspot.com/2012/06 ... r-arm.html

I like the way you combined gripping and lifting.

Cool bot! BTW, to embed YT vids, you place the end code in the tags (It's right at the end of the URL). Like this: [youtube]"ljF8UcnhNe4"[/youtube] Just remove the quotes. Here's the result.
