The V0 hand prototype was one of the first hand prototype that I had designed. The entire CAD design, printing and circuit wiring was done by myself over a few nights due to my reluctance of moving from a 2 finger prototype to a full hand prototype. Many elements of the design were not fully tested, and as a result, this prototype wasn't too successful in terms of a reliable and functioning hand. Parts of the hand failed easily, from the bird nest of wiring to the failure of parts in the hand. Overall, the prototype was successful enough to be presented, but didn't last very long afterwards.
