The story of Snack Snatcher Arm

The Snack Snatcher Arm took a whole weekend to build, but when it finally moved, it felt like engineering school. Push one plunger and the claw opened. Pull another and the arm swung around. Kids used it to snag cookies from the counter. Leaky tubes meant towels became a permanent part of the setup.

Fun fact

Adding food coloring to the water made the tubes look like rainbow robot veins, which was absolutely required.
