hmm with a little adjustment that could be one fine shoe buffer!! otherwise clever idea!

[Flakbait888]

I agree with gaby, that kind of weight will put you right over.

[AlecTaylor6]

Now that's one powerful roller!

[gaby1491]

thats way too heavy to mount at the end of an arm even with small motors.

[Moncky92]

A smaller motor, like a Banebot or a Fisherprice, maybe will be enough to do the work?

Good luck

@Moncky92 The gripper will be powered by two Banebot 775 motors, the prototype was to demonstrate the concept. It worked so well that it will probably look very similar to the end result.

Very impressive fabrication!

Perhaps lowering the speed just a tad could prevent the tube from flying out? :P

Good luck!
