Oh! That's cool, I get it.

Right! Right! I get it, that answers the questions. I see. So the Spybots (oh
course doi!) wouldn't be in the claws. The motors of the Spybot (located in the
head or body or where ever) could trigger the Claw's valves. Because they are
hoses the "buisness end of the circut could be anywhere.

nice. it will almost be alive.
Thought does come to mind.
Kevin, if you feel you need the Motor outputs from the Spybot to aid in the
walking systems et als... that option is also open. We don't have to use the
Spybot for the claws, but it is an example as I'm sure we all know. Though we
could use it as such.

They have three IR sensors, so they can detect the direction of an IR signal from a controller, and/or another Spybot. So, if you set a (...) (21 years ago, 21-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)
