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. My problem: I'm making a Mid-Sized Technic Fig Scale Robotic Mecha. (4ft.tall biped) I (...) (22 years ago, 12-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.robotics)

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)

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)

That is quite a problem you have there. The immortal question to follow the easy road, or plow through the boulders (legos in this case) and set the way for those that follow. I myself, not at all new to this exact problem, have little advice (...) (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. I have considered making a pnuemo hand, evan at a small (...) (22 years ago, 12-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 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)

Ok, here's what I came up with. It's a three finger claw deal, offshoot tech from the Super Mech-Bot. I like it. Dual z24 single Worm Gear drive in the center of the hand acuates the fingers. The Mechanical hinged fingers feature a multiplexed (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.robotics)

Sorry for the slow reply, but here's a 2 claw hand I built a while back. It's worm gear driven so it's fairly strong. There's an LDRAW DAT file that show how it went together HTH, JSM (URL) Sophie <mylegomaster@cs.com> wrote in message (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Nice! I used the same worm gear set up in my hand design I settled on. Co-inky-dink. Thanks for the input! Eric (22 years ago, 15-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)
