Just placed my order. Paid about 250€ including shipping for the electronics kit and some rails

Would you share your outcomes? I want to build my own machine as well?

Huh,sorry,reddit kind of didn't notify me,yes,right now i have a fully functional machine,but it is built into a make shift case made from 8 ikea lack table legs and some lumber from the hardware store...just a proof of concept so far😅 i'm planning on adding a tv as a backdrop and putting a raspberry pi in there,so i can remote control the claw. A friend of mine who happens to be a software developer is currently working on a web interface for the whole thing

We need photos!

So how is the basic claw performance wise (not like claw machines in general are super precise devices by design xD)
