Seems I posted my MOC to the wrong group- who knew a Technic MOC wouldn't get
noticed in lugnet.technic?
Anyway, here's the original post:

I just took the thing apart after a succesful run at work, and there were more
parts than I would have thought. We went through about twenty pounds of candy
(about 10 kg's), most of it picked up by hand rather than with the claw.
Some movies are posted here:

(1-3 MB each for anyone who might be interested)
As always, any comments or critiquing are welcome!
