Presentation
How its Made: This robot claw toy is mostly made of plastic injected molding. This process involves creating a steel mold to inject liquid plastic into. The mold is usually created by a CNC machine and then modified for further detail. Creating such a toy using plastic injection is cost effective and allows the company to produce many toys that are exactly the same.

Improvements?: One constraint this toy has is that you can only use it to a set distance. An improvement would be to create a new stick that can fall into itself and lock similar to those toy lightsabers. This might attract more people into buying the toy. Also, the handle doesn't fully come off the toy. One could make a removable handle and sell different ones to make more money.
