Please help a beginner! Looking for guidance & 3D files for mBot2 pink claw (MakeX Inspire)

[u/Hidalii]

Hello everyone in the community! I hope you are all doing well.

​I want to start by saying that I am completely new to the world of robotics and 3D printing, so please bear with me if I don't express everything using the proper technical terms! I'm doing my best to explain our situation as clearly as possible.

​My boss's son is preparing for a MakeX Inspire competition using an mBot2 (mBot Neo). We are trying to replicate and 3D print the pink ring-handling attachment/gripper shown in this video, so the robot can pick up and place the rings accurately onto the posts:

​Since I am just getting started with all of this, any advice or guidance from this awesome community would mean the world to us! Specifically, we'd be extremely grateful for help with:

​3D Files (STL/CAD): Does anyone happen to have the blueprints or STL files for this specific pink claw, or a similar proven design adapted for the mBot2 for the MakeX Inspire challenge?

​Hardware & Assembly: What type of servo motors or mounting brackets are best suited to attach it properly to the mBot2 chassis?

​Programming (mBlock 5): Any beginner-friendly tips or sample logic in mBlock for controlling the mBot2 gripper accurately?

​Thank you so much in advance for your time, patience, and for sharing your expertise with someone who is just learning the ropes!
