Equipment testing

Well I bought 10 Dynamixel AX-12 servo engines,  to use as the finger's joints. Now it's a bit problematic due to the size of the engines, but they were the only one's that were in my price range.
Also they have a strong torque, and most importantly, they have a load voltage feedback, which i can use as pressure sensors, and get a feedback from every joint of every finger.
In this video, I'm trying out for the first time moving the engines by programming them using c++.
