A gripper with purpose
There is an artificial lake near work and I've noticed a collection of plastic wrappers and other rubbish in it. After thinking "someone should do something about that", I realised that I was a someone and decided to start doing something about it, so I've started making a 2m long arm with gripper that can reach some of this litter and get it out and in the bin.
I mention a @ThisOldTony episode in this video where one of these grippers appears. It is • Fancy Pants Clamps!! at around the 11 minute mark. This is part of the annual youtube Maker's Secret Santa series. Always an interesting watch.
