Power Miners Claw Catcher

One of my favorite sets of all time is set 8190 Claw Catcher from Power Miners Wave Two. Power Miners is the theme that first got me into Lego, and I am happy that I could pay homage to that in this build.

My favorite thing about the Claw Catcher was its play feature, which allowed you to catch a rock monster and throw it into the water tank on the back of the vehicle by simply pulling a lever. In this micro build, I replicated that function by using ropes to pull the claws closed and up, similar to how they worked in the original set.
