Hmmm...
I personally don't think there's anything wrong with claws on a robot.
However, your mecha usually go beyond just the functional - they are also
artistic expressions. It seems to me that if this mecha will indeed be four
feet tall, making a 2:3 scale hand using the small pneumatic pistons might
be a possibility. The problem with those is that they only come in yellow,
and your new mecha is going to be blue.
The other possibility is to make a claw that resembles a hand, sort of like
the prosthetic hands some people have.
Those new mindstorms "spybot" sets look like they could have some
interesting parts on them for such a task.
Also a modification of the robotic arm on the "mindstorms" site might be
interesting, too.
Well, that's all I can think of. I'm sure whatever you go with, it'll look
just great!
Later, Chris
