Precision vice-grip control...

It looks promising but I wouldn't go too high with it. It looks kind of rickety.

Still in the prototyping stage.

The gear with no axel that looks like it was put in as a tensioner. If it popped out I think he would come crashing down because he would lose all tension. Prototype or proof of concept.
