I am very impressed with yours. Did you create all the parts or did they come as a kit?
Gute Arbeit Smarty!
I ordered both the right and left hands on eBay this morning for $90 USD. Did you find the servos that came with the kit sufficient or would you upgrade them? I honestly believe this is the best kit on the market (other than 3D printed). I can't wait to get mine. It would be funny to see them on my Omnibot 2000.
Speaking of 3D printing, the parts would be easy to trace and model in Fusion 360 to reproduce with a printer. The linkage is easily available at any R/C hobby store.
@bumsteadsean I upgraded all servos because they work with 5,5V, 6.1V are to much for the Original-Servos and they are not so strong but the rest of parts are good to use. I modified the fingers for the perfect smooth operation.
have fun with your Omnibot 2000 :-)
This is the one I ordered a while ago. Servos are probably throw away and replace with EZB HDD or Dynamixel. If it ever turns up I will post. This is not the same seller. I ordered mine from china for a little cheaper but the hands I ordered appear to be the same. I liked the aluminum design and 6 seperate servos per hand.

I am seriously going to reproduce these with ABS on my 3D printer. Physically tracing each piece, scanning them into Illustrator and then extruding each piece in Sketchup, Tinkercad or Fusion would be very easy. I might even scale them to make large Hulk-size hands. I have printed a pair of Inmoov hands in ABS, but they are very fragile. The joints break easy. I am constantly Supergluing them.
