I'm going to build a crane-claw for my kids bedroom. The servocity servo pan/tilt(for more weight), some aluminum angle, heavy fishing line and your joystick break-out - and I'm in!<p>Now when I say - "clean your room!" It'll be fun!</p><p>Nice work guys - especially on the price!</p></p>

For example, that wouldn't be a major concern with a telescoping arm that extended several inches from the outer diameter of the rotor blades, or similarly a smaller extendable arm pointed downward.</p>

RC, not autonomous, but my wheeled bot had one arm for grabbing, and the other for punching its now-restrained victim.</p>
