I'm thinking that a few chips in current packaging (SMT, PGA or similar), 
rather than the 14 pin DIPs in your scene, might fit a bit better with 
style of the robot hand.  DIPs are more than a little long in the tooth, 
you know.  :-)

Sorry, it's all I had to hand (hahahaha)

Actually, the components came from a totally different project, and were
modelled from real bits I had lying around here from some old school
projects (more than a few years old...)

See my post in p.b.a on this.

The Hanford hand is coming about nicely i hope in no suffering of the home
life... =] I like the fingertips... ??? Looks rubbery and useful for leafing
through papers ect... =]

Thanks very much.  I do most of the work on this on the train going
to/coming from work.  The wife might disagree, although I'd sware that I
spend no more than half an hour (or is it 3) on this in the evenings :)
Time goes astray sometimes...

Oddly enough, I like the finger tips, even though they are pretty much
unchaged since the original  (box+sphere)-box-box.  I might try to find a
way of putting some fingerprint-type roughness onto the tips...

see ya
