FTC Relic Claw - Universal build kit compatibility

thingiverse

This is a relic claw that wraps around the relic. To utilize this with a build system other than Rev, you'll need to create your own adapter component. It's a tiny part, and is relatively simple to design and fabricate. We based our design on a claw we found here on thingiverse, but we made some distinctly different decisions in its creation. We sought to have a claw that printed flat, and one that wouldn't shatter. We couldn't guarantee that it wouldn't break, so we designed a part that attaches the claw to your mounting hardware, taking all the force and ensuring the piece breaks instead of the entire claw. This means instead of having to reprint the entire claw, you'll only need to print off a small component. This also enables teams not utilizing the Rev extrusion system to modify the adapter component to their specific hardware requirements. The servo mount relies on super glue for secure placement, but we've had a claw assembled for three months and it hasn't fractured (that was an earlier version, without the adapter piece).
