Gripper

Sparki has two little grippers that can grab objects and drag them around.

Front - Gripper

How It Works

Sparki’s grippers are driven by the same stepper motor that the wheels use. The grippers are driven by rack and pinion style gear. For Sparki, each arm is a rack, and the stepper motor has the gear: Rack Pinion

Using the Part

With the basic Sparki code in place, you can move the gripper using these commands: SparkiDuino already has code examples for you to use: File->Examples->Gripper
