Description
About The MOCA MOC of this nature from me has been loooong over due. I've been needing to make a "MIni-MOC" in the true sense of Mini-MOCs for a while now, I never really had one till now.I feel a little bad ending up with a crab as a mini-MOC seeing as how its been done before, namely by But I was inspired by his crab to do this. I was trying to make a little spider, but once I got those claws made I simply had to honor the design and make a crab. So now we have "Snip," my little green crab.
Bio
He's just a cute little crab, He could be HF Bionicle or what ever. No real story behind this one.
His name is snip because his claws are more scissor like than clamp like for a crab's claws.

Oh yes, I remember you were telling me about that idea, Well if you ever get $40 bucks they sell a PF kit that would start you off. Then you would just need the RC elements. It'd be cool to have him pinch his claws as he walks. Or even to have it walk sideways to depart from the obvious.
Well It's a given that yours will be large and have functions, I don't know if you've seen my MOC the Twisted Cradle but it was gimmick heavy and it suffered for it. I plan on getting Mindstorms this year and I totally want to integrate it into my MOCing

I know. I honestly don't want that kit because its not all that useful. I want a remote kit, and I can find that stuff in custom kits on Ebay. For $100 there's a guy who sells PF complete starter kits. You even get a choice in standard or speed remotes.
Yeah I saw that MOC...wasn't really sure what its suppose to be or do.

What's the difference between the remotes?
The Twisted Cradle had several mechanical gimmicks. Firstly the front and rear wheels could bank simultaneously (like a motorbike). It also had a pull back motor and a differential in the axle

The standard remote is just forward and backwards. Good for just making a motor operate, the speed remote does the same, but with seven different speed variables. This is good for tracked vehicles, or is usually used on the lego trains(from what I understand) So in theory, its good to have both.
Oooh I see and what was the point of all differential?

Oh I see. I'll keep that in mind if I buy RC stuff.
A differential allows each wheel to rotate at a different speed despite being still connected to the drive shaft. in a car during a turn the outer wheels have to travel more distance than the inner wheels so they employ a differential which allows them to rotate at different speeds.
