Very cool! I like the motion and smoothness, reminds me of a Goa'uld from Stargate!

[Zerobricks]

Awesome, Sariel! Seems hard to control though.

[SteveNesta]

Where did you get the idea for the movement technique? Keyhole surgery camera ?

[Sariel]

Nope, snakes.

[bricky300]

Maybe youcould improve its acuracy by adding another 3 strings which are only connected to half of the arm. So you could control both halfs of the model

[bord4kop]

Great technic contraption

As always I find your idea 's are very innovative!

[efferman]

thank you for this clever idea. a walking brachiosaurus is growing in my head with this possibility of controling the fron and back extension

[SteveNesta]

And do look at how keyhole surgery cameras are moved within the body....it might give other ideas.

Really interesting model....watching with fascination.

Awesome creation Sariel, really clever.

Efferman, please build a cool walking dino. We need something after the T-rex from control center II.

I like the creative use of the strings!

[tibivi]

I'm not going to sleep tonight, because I haven't subscribed

Nice idea

Another creative work done by Sariel.

Any plans on developing fully automatic tentacle in the future?

[Sariel]

Not at the moment. It could be a part of the Ultimate MechaHamster Power Armor, though...
