    Looks like something out of a bad sci-fi movie. I’d love to see video of it in action.

    I better not show this to my son, or I wouldn’t get a moment’s peace. I’d spend the rest of my life hearing “I WANT ONE! I WANT ONE! I WANT ONE!”

    I believe the wheel (the ‘teeth’ are buckets) rotates while being moved side to side against the mound of stuff to be excavated.

    As the buckets go round the material gets dumped on the conveyer belt inside the arm.

    Denita, your son is going to have to fight me for it. How lame is that, seeing as I’m a 50-something female?

    MORE POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    p.s. The Transformer pic is great!
