standard servo grippers

[botmen]

i was able to save a lot of money by fabricating my own grippers using sheet aluminum,standard tools and standard futaba servos for my rn 1.my bot looks a lot cooler w d new hands compared to the stock plastic ones,plus the joy of seeing your own modifications work.will try to post some pics,should anyone would like to try it.the process mostly include cutting,filling,sanding,drilling and bending of the sheet aluminum by hand.

Hi, did you do the codes with robobasic for the grippers? and how did u set the servo's degree of pressure holding objects? coz if im not wrong, if the servo hold something too tight than expected to be set the servo might burn?

hi! there were no pressure sensors used on my project,i just programmed the servos manually based on what is needed on the desired movements.i connected the servos using the group c terminals on the robot's board.i cant remember the exact terminal that i used,but you can do a trial and error method in finding the right terminal.my silver nova was already sold ,the one with the grippers and moving head.I am now working on my gold version,still thinking on whether to modify it to just like the first one.will try to post some pics of the grippers...
