knex crane by knexsuperbulderfreak and knex_builder

Hey! It's KSBF this is my knex crane. And most the writing in the Instructable is by Knex_Builder_Freak.

Lets get to some pros and cons!

Pros.

Like a real crane.

Controllable with motors.

Doesn't use a ton of pieces.

Cons.

Uses a motor that not everybody has. (cyber motor)

Some parts are a bit weak :(

So that should be about it, lets get building!
