| Hey John! (...) I would say that they are the same except the word Mecha is used to describe a more ornate futuristic cousin of current day Robotics. (...) Good observation, it could be any of the above. (...) oooooohhhh clever, "rosette" of fingers (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| I am not that familiar with mecha, in the sense that I don't seem to have a natural feel for what is mecha and what is robotic. With that in mind, firstly, do mecha have to have human style anatomy at the gross level, ie; arms with hands with (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| Hey Mike! Thanks for not taking it the wrong way, trust me, I'm not into telling people what to do. I'm gald your willing to reconsider the name. Your MOCs are too cool to turn people off with names like that. Like I said cool stuff. I dig it. right (...) (22 years ago, 12-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| Brian, thanks for the reply. I remember this hand!! I remebered the comments about your friends and how strong the hand is. Dang it was good to see that hand again, it was really well done.

| Don't do it! Or if you do, make it look like you didn't! Here's pnuematic humanoid hand, albeit at 1:1 scale. Might be able to scale it down, though. (URL) you have to make a pincher, add extra fingers, even if just for looks. (...) (22 years ago, 12-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| Heh...I do agree about the name myself (not to mention it doensn't fit the model). It was a suggestion from a friend, and I was such a rush to post the pics. The name shall be changed...any suggestions? I'm definitely up for those =) (22 years ago, 12-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| Great advice from the DR.!!!! You see through to the quandry. A purely mechanical claw hand would detract from the form I am attempting to create. And while a mildly disguised claw hand would ...ehhh be ok, I'll have to settle on something. The (...) (22 years ago, 12-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| Folks, I'm in a bit of a quandry. Traditionally I don't like "Claw Hands" meaning the kind you see on a Submersable Sub or better know as Pinchers or Grabers.
