One of my ongoing projects (I started it when I was about 15 years old with an aluminium one) has been a robot hand but only recently have I been able to easily make something that will control multiple hobby servos. Hooray Arduinos!

Seen to the right with attached sword :) Note also the wrist joint swivels, make by forcing metal around a pipe and bolting stays onto it.

I do not know exactly what has make me want to create something like this but I do believe the movie Terminator and the anime series Bubblegum Crisis helped:

When I reliased it was now possible to make something to control 12+ servos I started building... in cardboard.
