  CONSTRUCTING THE HAND:

  for the robotic hand's material, he chose to go with balsa wood. he starts out by cutting out proportions copied from his own hands, then used hinges to connect the pieces together. to get the hand to bend correctly, he used a kind of flexible string found on amazon. He then set up 5 servo motors to all 5 fingers via string on the palm of the robotic hand, which were controlled via arduino uno + transceiver #2.
