The Wooden Menace is a robotic arm made from hobby servos & (you guessed it) wood! It can be autonomously or remotely controlled.

Great post , i`m doing something similar inspired by it for my engineering license
It will be also a robotic arm with servos but controlled with transcievers by the computer ( also an idea inspired by the autonomous drifter ) . In a few months it should be ready because I’m having some trouble with the parts.Hope it will work , i`l share a video with it when I`m going to start assembling.
Cheers
