# Blog 8 Midterm Project Individual Proposal: True-Self Catcher
By Younian Liu, Ran Xu | Instructor: Prof. Marcela Godoy
The initial idea is triggered by the button we got in the Arduino toolkit commonly used in claw cranes.
(Something similar to this.)
It intends to discuss the topic of stereotype with a focus on gender: people are easily labeled or given certain expectations due to their gender classification, which may result in people losing track of who they really are.
True-Self Catcher is a small claw crane that involves competition between two users, during which two participants can press the button to trigger claws to catch the labels packed inside boxes/small packages and whoever first picked up the label âTrue-Selfâ wins.

the concept is really interesting! Glad you came up with an idea like this.
here I found a mechanism that might be useful. You can wrap the string with a DC motor instead of manually.

Try make it it for one person first (only one claw), then if you have more time you can make another one. But I think this can be only one person and take turns with another one.
