I have the arm/claw from the legacy V5 Clawbot, but I want to make it able to fold in and out but can’t find a way to make it happen with gears
You can attach the part claw part to a big 60 to 84 tooth gear (where the big red circle is) and attach that to the c-channel.
Next to that gear you can mesh a smaller gear next to it, put a shaft through that and the c-channel, and attach a motor to the other end of the axle on the opposite side of the c-channel.
If you need a more detailed diagram you can lmk.

The first drawing is closer to what ive done, i have a prototype made, it goes up and down like a human arm, a joint like your arm and then a joint like your hand

by that do you mean a combination of the first drawing & the 3rd drawing because in all of the drawings the arm itself still moves on its attachment point I was just drawing the folding part
