Jack's Robot Arm

I recently made an robot arm with my dad. I got the Robot Arm on my birthday. It was a lot of fun. I took us about 4 1/2 hours to complete it but we did over the time span of 2 months. We did it in 30 minute to 1 hour in half segments. Making it was a lot of fun. First, we did a few starting parts to the base of the arm. Then, about 2 weeks later we started to make the arm, and it was starting to look like an Robot Arm. After that, approximately a month later, we completed the arm. All we had left was the control box/controller which we did the next weekend. Finally, we completed it! That day, I picked up the screw driver with the arm, the pliers, and a few other things with the arm. The arm can rotate, parts of the arm can go down or up, so you can move big parts of the Robot Arm or just little things(to make little or big changes). It picks things up with a plier-type thing which you can make go out or in (with the controller). It also has a light.
The whole building process was a lot of fun! Playing with it was also lots of fun too!

Here's a video of me playing with the completed Robot Arm:
