[h-g-t]

Here is a video of the gripper in action.

I remembered that I had created a simple and somewhat ugly lifter/gripper a while back. It didn't have a lot of lifting power, but it could lift empty aluminum cans and little cardboard boxes and after all, it was meant to be a simple build. I found some pictures on my mess of a hard drive, but I downsized them and did all the editing in Picnik, so you're going to have to forgive me on the picture quality.
