Technic seats have peg holes and a thin side that make them candidates for
claws but not scoops.
Claw: The seats work very well in a claw. When 2 seats face each other
in a claw they fit around a ping pong ball. The holes allow the use of
pegs to join several seats laterally for a bigger claw. Unfortunately, the
thin sides do not fit flush against each other to form a continuous blade;
instead, they form widely-space teeth. Several seats joined laterally on
both sides of a claw can serve as large coarse-toothed claw with
overlapping bite. The holes allow the firm assembly of a large claw with
sides and an extended back composed of plates secured by beams. A large
claw of more than 5 seats will gather several ping pong balls.
Scoop: The seats do not work well in a scoop. With 2 or more seats joined
laterally, a 2x plate fits on the seat back with 1x excess between the
"teeth" of the blade; still, not too strong with plates held by stud
friction only. Everything pushed into the scoop rolls back out. Any ideas
to use the seats in a scoop?
