MANTis- New footy claw

Post by alasdair »

Thought people might like to see this-
Its a video of Mantis with a new claw. The two claws are aptly named Slashy and Nom by my sister. :P Nom is my response to the football competition at rrc. It can grip the ball perfectly. To make the arm i got a practice golf ball, cut it in half, and heated it in a cooker so that it fits snugly on the ball. Painted it black, and red on the inside, and added the customary decals. :D
Here is the link!

It is seriously good, it's very fun if it ends up on the end of your foot in the air as well :P
