Here is another quick example of the technique used with the rig that Nichod has posted here. The drums are from the content cd. I just added the mechanical arms to the existing rig and used the "IK Handle" method on the drums to allow Doctor Octopus to grab and throw them. This was quick work for proof of concept, but if you take your time it could look pretty damn good for just an IK trick. This should help to make some cool animations possible.
