Wow, seriously excellent hand design. Bravo.
Its tough to create flex geometry using a single push/pull point.
Elegant solution.

Excellent, I’m checking them out.

Note: I first tried to build the support tower using only studless beams, but
the result was not stiff enough, and I had to rebuilt it using the more
traditional beams-and-plates method. Any tips and tricks to build a similar
structure with studless beams?

Sorry, but I have to tease you. Studless and studded compliment eachother.
Plates and beams create strength. A similar technique for studless helps too,
but really they both compliment eachother.
I also want to mention that you did a great job in making a clean control box at
the base with a minimum of mess. (the tubes and such) I always make a mess of my
wires and tubbing. :(
Now, will you create the rest of the Robot!!!??!! I dare you!
Ok, Chris and Kevin, chop chop, LEGOTIC and the Pneumo King watch out!
Thanks for sharing Philippe, great design.
