yo guys! im making a raspberry pi claw machine and thought it would be fun to log my progress as i go along, so i made a blog post explaining how to build one! if anyone wants to check it out, you can find it at http://www.alexdovzhanyn.com/blog/1

nice! in commercial claw machines you can define the monthly return of investment with an algorithm for the claw. Do you gonna build that too? 😁

@heyheni this ones gonna be free to play since itll jusy be for my girlfriend to use, so no! lol. i do plan on making it more "fair" than traditional claw machines as well, but i may add a different game mode for the classic type of claw machine

What ya going to put there. Plushies? Also is it free for devranters?

@UnknownDev its gonna be relatively small, so i could put plushies but my main goal is to jist have it have like candy bards and such

Very cool! I'm with you

@wholl0p thanks!

Fill that bad boy with ddr4 and vodka. 😂

I just thought it would be cooler to have a 3d printer and if I were to build such a frame and program motor controlls I would make it a 3d printer. I was then pointed out that you can combine those two: a 3d printer that you can get the printed parts out with a claw.

@jobylie that sounds awesome! i am planning on building a 3d printer in the future, but this is simpler to do, especially since im new to electronics, so i thought id build a claw machine first
