I wasn't sure if you were on some studless-beam kick... :)
I think the body needs to be wider, for scale.

I know this takes time.

I was thinking about the leg lock & pistion that you set-up.

I came up with an arm design. I haven't made a claw, yet, but it's a start. It
will detect contact (bumping into something) by directing movement to a single
rotation sensor mounted in the body.

The red beams on the right are "studless" body parts. Also, there is a liftarm
with a rubberband, which springs the whole assembly back into place. Here are
some more shots:

It's made up of the claw (not pictured) the body (not pictured) and three
sections like this:

Make sense?
