3 Simple Ways to Build a Lego Gripper

Hi,
in this video I show you some neat concepts for Lego grippers. I'm sorry for the video quality, I didn't have much time today :)
Enjoy watching,

Around 4 hours before this video was released, we hit 25k subscribers! Here's a big Thank You to every one of them :)

The basic principle of concept #3 is actually used in a few Lego Sets like 42006 and 42042. The one I built is actually very unstable, but it gives the basic idea.

This gives me the same vibes that "easy minecraft piston doors" gives me.

Great vid I love the clever designs

[Jko]

Cool stuff as always! I really like the second one for its clever, compact design.

[bami]

Love these ideas!

If I build a grabber powered with a motor I usually use a suspension piece in one of the driving arms, this helps the motor build up a bit of torque and results in more grip strength.

The last grippe is very usefull for me. Thank you <3

I love building Lego technic machines, and this one is very good:)

[robinbrowne]

Interesting. I never thought of making a gripper. But now I will :-)

[oflbekb]

Imagine grapers at vending machines being that good 🤣





Edited: btw the thumbnail by itself was that cleaver to blow my shocks off 🤯♥️

[imakeplaylists]

Seeing stuff like this makes me feel dumb just to see the clever solutions I’d never come up with

[kajin]

Claw 1 is awesome, I'm using an expanded version of it in a lego robot I'm building rn

[justinescreative]

Idea: make a claw machine with these three gripper and test witch one of them is the best
Btw the claw machine is really good :D its impressive seing simple mechanics like the third one

[Burek]

Man I thought that the thumbnail was a lego lawnmower

[sonicANDtailsfank]

The 2nd one reminds me of the one from Lego Star Wars The Complete Saga but without the mechanical sounds.

to improve the grip, u could use those rubber technic bar thingies
also i gave u ur 100th comment on this vid, ur welcome

[hollt]

I just realized I wasn't subbed, but I've corrected that now.

It would be interesting to see a Lego FinGripper. I'm not sure how you could do it, besides maybe using tiny rubber bands crisscrossing each trapezoidal segment.

This makes me wish I still owned Legos. 3D printing is great, but iteration and testing is much slower than with ready-made parts.

Build 2 could be adapted to become an awesome prosthetic hand for Bionicle M.O.Cs

[LegoDude]

Not me just staring at the hair on that gear

[BuddemsMorgan]

2:26 we can now remake the scooper scene from FNAF: SL

[grossepasteque]

or just use the 42006 grabber lol (but cool video +1 like)

[deaded]

I really think your vids are awesome imma sub you deserve it

but could you make mechanical arm for your next vid?
eg: small arm, medium arm, large more complex
