Howdy,

I put up some pics of a cargo system I came up with...

http://www.sproat.us/jeremy/lego/grabber-cargo-system/

This cargo system has the benefit of a locking connector system -- when the
grabber has grasped a cargo box, it won't be letting go.  But when you want
it to release, it pops out quite easily.

I had plans to put this into a cargo ship model, with 8 or 12 grabbers, but
time kinda got in the way...

LMKWYT!

Cheers,
- jsproat

(...) Neat! It's not often that support craft are made, and I like what you came up with! It just makes so much sense as an idea...:) Joe Meno (22 years ago, 5-Oct-02, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)
