    This is such an attractive design you have made here, I am a robotics technician and build robotic arms as a hobby. I would be very interested in any design specs on the mechanical side that you have for this particular hand, or anything you can provide. I would love to build this as an end aefector for one of my Robots. Hats off to your engineering team, truely remarkable.
