Project to Hold the Grabber Tool

Our group, RJ and I, started off with a couple different ideas, some simple and one more complicated than the others. The one we chose was the more complicated one, because we decided it would be fun to challenge ourselves. The idea was to create a way to use the spread of the grabber tips to hold itself. When the trigger is pulled, the tips come in, allowing the grabber tool to squeeze through an opening, but when the trigger is released, the tips catch on the sides of the opening, holding itself. Throughout the design process, we took accurate measurements and made our idea a real thing. We worked together to figure out how to mount the project on the board, and we came up with something that we felt was practical and would easily hold up the grabber tool. We were very proud of our result.

Here is a picture of our design:
