NASA Contest: Design an Electrically Driven Clamp

Attachment mechanism by Lauren Fell (2)

(Note: this is to replace the previous submission which was missing the exit survey code) Hello - I hope this submission finds you well. Great to work on another one - I was going to give this one a miss as I didn't think I'd have the time, but saw a YouTube video about soft robotics and w as inspired :) Apologies for the roughness of this entry - especially the visualisation of the clamp fingers closing around the handrail - I found trying to manipulate soft components in CAD software rather tricky. I tried making a prototype with silicon caulking, but am still waiting for it to set - I might link to a video in the comments if it works, but I have a feeling it would have worked better with rubber. Thanks again! Cheers, Lauren.
