## Description

Step right up and try your luck! Do you have what it takes to grab a claw-full of candy with the Candy Claw Machine? Experiment to develop your motor skills and engineering chops to conquer this awesome STEM challenge. Build a working model of the classic claw machine — that enticing, sometimes frustrating, and always fun arcade game in which you try to grab prizes from inside the machine with a remote-controlled claw in a limited amount of time. Cranks, gears, and belts move the claw arm left and right, and forward and back. Hydraulic levers move the arm up and down, and open and close the claw. A spring-loaded trap door shoots the collected candy out at you if you manage to succeed. Time yourself or your friends and see if you can retrieve a specific object in a given amount of time. No batteries or electricity are required — it uses only the power of your hand and the mechanical advantage of the machines built into the device. Choose from three different claw shapes (cool nerdy roboticists call these “end effectors”) and find the one that works best to pick up a particular candy or prize. Learn how the gears, levers, belt, screws, hydraulics, linkages, cranks, and claws all work together to pick up, move, and drop prizes. Experiment with different gear ratios to speed up or power up your claw. Packed with 6 lollipops and decoys (fake candy boxes), you can also fill it with whatever small candies, toys, or other small objects you like. The game itself is great for honing dexterity skills and hand-eye coordination. An innovative take on a robotic arm with something really worth grabbing!

Review: Divertido pero se queda corto. - El tema de manufactura y elementos son buenos, pero el juguete no es funcional porque fuga agua por todos lados impidiendo su funcionamiento adecuado.
Review: Broken hydronic system claw doesn't work - This is a super cute mini candy machine, took 3 hours to build but when it was complete we couldn't get the hydronic system to work properly, it keeps sucking in air. We noticed it has a large Crack in it so unless we can get the seller to supply a new hydronic system, the until is garbage.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Divertido pero se queda corto.
*by S***F on 20 February 2023*

El tema de manufactura y elementos son buenos, pero el juguete no es funcional porque fuga agua por todos lados impidiendo su funcionamiento adecuado.

### ⭐ Broken hydronic system claw doesn't work
*by J***L on 1 May 2022*

This is a super cute mini candy machine, took 3 hours to build but when it was complete we couldn't get the hydronic system to work properly, it keeps sucking in air. We noticed it has a large Crack in it so unless we can get the seller to supply a new hydronic system, the until is garbage.

### ⭐ Bad design, dont buy
*by T***. on 17 May 2025*

Does not work as intended. Whoever designed this thing probably did it out of autocad and never play-tested it. The hydraulic motion does not work as intended because the springs are inefficient. You can use the syringe-hydraulic motion to open or lower the claw, but the springs nor hydraulic motion have enough power to pull it back up or close the claw.
