Hydraulic Claw<\/span><\/b>
\nWhen I first got the box from Tinker Crate, I wanted my Dad to help me, because i didn\u2019t know if it would be hard, and i was afraid of failing. But then a few weeks later, my Mom asked me if I was going to build the Claw. So i went to my room and set up a work space. I started by reading the instructions that came with the box, and then got all the materials for part A. I started building part A, which is where i build the hydraulic mechanism. But after i finished both of the pistons, it was time to fill the tube with water, and connect it to the pistons. I was supposed to fill the tube all the way, so there are no water bubbles. When I first tried, there were plenty of air bubbles in the tube, and big ones too. I thought I failed, but then I tried again, and it all worked out!!
\n\"\" I was happy I finished part A. I went to show Mom, and she was proud of me. She told me to take pictures of how I make it, so I could make a blog about it. I took a picture of it, and went on to part B. Part B was the part in making the Jaws of the claw, the part that will go up and down when i use the piston. It was pretty easy, just connecting a few of the \u201cBuilding Blocks\u201d with some brads.

When I finished that, I took a picture, and went on to Part C. Part C is connecting ALL the parts. The Hydraulics to the jaws, to make the claw. This part was very easy. After I finished, I showed My Mom, and I also took a picture of what I created.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Then, because that is where the instructions end, I flipped the instructions to the back, and looked at the Image that was displayed. There were no directions to make what was displayed on the image, The claw connected to the box, with a mechanism to open the jaws, move the claw up or down, and to bring it forwards or backwards. So I tried making my own model, and it worked. I used their method to secure the claw to the box, but the other mechanisms were mine. I made 2 more hydraulics, and connected them to a control panel, which is the place where I had all the hydraulics end up, so i could easily control everything. Then I after I finished connecting it to the box, and all the mechanisms, I went down to show everybody. We went to the living room, and I tried picking up a shark stuffed animal with the claw, and it worked!<\/p>\n
