Finishing up a robot project but struggling with useful hands. I want to be able to pick items up at different angles, move them and put them down. I tried a complicated hand with 5 servo's. It looks cool but doesn't work very well as a hand. I tried the old robot claws we all know and they work well but are very heavy due to the fact I have 2 HDD servo's one for wrist and one for the claw, so the arm and shoulder servo's struggle to lift the hands let alone an object. Does anyone have a good recommendation for a light weight but functional hands that can pick up an object from any angle?

handsi have same robot with hands.the servo are really good.when they get hot they chut down. you can grip something.
Is that this one @Nomad looks like 1 servo for hand and opens and closes all at once. I must admit the 5 servo to control each separate finger is great if you want to learn binary or give someone the finger but practically I wasn't overly impressed and 2 hands chew up 10 ports on my EZ-B.
yes thats the hand,one servo.you can find them on ebay for lot cheaper ,den you have to assemble them yourself. and you dont have the brackets.the ones in the link are assembled.
