Check out this video of a robot hand made of a motor bike chain, very neat.

I've seen that episode. Best part is when Jamie uses it to catch flying arrows.

Blimey it's true, what goes around comes around (again and again) I have just dug a book off my bookshelf called Anderoid Design - Practical Approaches for Robot Builders by Martin Bradley Weinstein copyright 1981 and in the chapter on Fingers (chapter 15) he suggests and shows examples of using a bicycle chain attached to a motor via a pully to create fingers.

I even remember building one to see if it worked (it did) when I was about 17.

It's a good book by the way even though it is quite dated now.
