Bio-Inspired Morphing Systems - JohnnyYesterday - 03-29-2014
I posted this over on Project Hieroglyph, hopefully someone will pick this concept up again before too long and realize it.

I'll write up an EG about it, incorporating my Utility Foam tweak, before too long.
Until then, how I picture the robotic "carabiner" is like an ouroboros with four or six legs. The "mouth" is the female end of a quick connect fitting, and the tail ends in a male. It's very flexible, like a snake.
