Well the remaining engines have arrived, and I also got the glove, so I wanted to try out the new hand.
Works pretty good as you can see. Now I need to start teaching it to grab stuff without breaking it, and to get Flex Sensors, for the glove, so I'll be able to mimic the glove's movement with the robotic hand.
The thing is that the Flex Sensors are more expansive and tricky to find than I thought.
So what I think I'm going to do, is to build the Flex Sensors myself by this video I found in YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkPekPiA-sc&feature=related
That way, I can custom build them to fit the glove and save some money.
If anyone has any other idea, about how to connect the glove to the robotic hand, just leave a comment I'll be glad to get some ideas.

3D Module
Well I made this 3D module using SketchUp, and it's pretty exact.
I already built the base from wood, and connected most of the engines to it. Now I'm just waiting for the rest on the AX-12 engines to arrive.
I also ordered a paintball glove, because it looks pretty easy to connect sensors to it.
Now I only need to see where I can find the sensors I need.
