Homemade Universal Jamming Gripper

Remember back when I wrote a post on that robot that truly sucks, well I figured it was my turn to construct a gripper like so. So I came up with my own version called the "SimpleGripper." The gripper itself consists of a plastic bag, coffee grounds, rubber bands, small filter, and a high powered Miele vacuum. It has most of the capabilities that the real one has, and its a lot simpler than the original one too. You can see it in action in the video, and I hope you like my robot!
