The pincher off of my new crane, put on my mouse following hovercraft.

The pincher rotates when the hovercraft moves, so that you can grab things you're moving towards.

A/Z opens and closes the pinchers, and the hovercraft obviously follows the mouse, as I just said up above.

Credit:

My brother Alex for the idea (SirHickory on algobox. He makes some cool stuff, check it out)
Myself for making everything.

Tricks:

The Push Up - Simpley get the pinchers flat on the ground while opened, and try to close them. See how much weight they can lift by moving the mouse further and further underground.

The Throw - Spin the pinchers by moving the mouse in a circle around them, then open the pinchers to release whatever you have in the pinchers.

Update:

Changed the hovercraft a little so it now works with readables instead of lasers.

Same can be done with no hinge - just set "followGeometry" property of thruster to false. And you don't need any lasers at all (even if you don't want to use readable, one laser is enough) :lol:

Well, this mouse following hovercraft was made before I learned to use readables (well, to script stuff that things are connected to). I guess I'll update it with new readables.
