There doesn’t seem to have been much discussion regarding single motor claws. I’m curious to see what people have come up with.
The only 2 single motor claws I know of are 6210X’s claw, and the claw I built:

While 2 motor claws are more effective over all, (we have since switched back to the 2 motor design) it seems 1 motor claws are quite viable, the claw in the first video was capable of holding 3 stars without motor power.
Mainly, what would you use that extra motor for if you had it? More lift power perhaps?
