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. http://homepage.mac.com/selode/lego/hand.html


If you have to make a pincher, add extra fingers, even if just for looks.

I have an issue with creating the right kind of hand for the Mech. I would
(of course)like to create the most humanoid hand possible. Trouble is the
size of a decent humanoid hand exceeds the scale I'm working on. (including
Mechancis and all)

Since the Mech will be fully Robotic, I want the hands to be functional and
you can't beat the old claws for a good grabbing hand.

I know it's a silly question, but SHOULD I DO IT???!!!

Ahh, I don't want to make a claw hand, but alas it may be the best

Look, will you guys think my widdle mecha would be cwool if I made it with
claw hands? I feel funny about it.

Thoughts?
