I think I'd have to disagree with you Mladen. If those were pneumatic or hydraulically driven arms or forks like on a fork lift, they'd probably be plenty strong. Anything bigger, while perhaps more aesthetically pleasing, would most likely leave (...) (25 years ago, 22-Mar-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.models)

(...) You can tell the arms were an afterthought...while building, I left the last stud on the 3x1 inverse slopes uncovered so I could attach arms later.

Sorry about the last message; sounded kinda rude. Anyway, yeah they (claws) would look more like forks if they were longer, but then how would the operator get out while carrying a load?
