Claw Striker

nxtprograms.com has listed a new project called the NXT Claw Striker. The basic robot was built off of the 3-Motor Chassis, with a geared up claw module. First, the robot emits three beeps, then turns around and beeps when an object comes into view. It backs up appropriately, and smashes its claw on the object.
