Teslabot Wrist Mechanism Model

I got excited about the Teslabot wrist mechanism after watching a video interview between Herbert Ong and Scott Walter. Used junkbox stuff and Arduino Uno and two standard servos. Fascinating that they came up with such a simple mechanism.

Good job. Is there any video of this wrist moving?

The motion itself is perhaps derived a bit from the motion of flight simulators? I think the creative part was how to get the mechanical motion, where you said you used a caster wheel for panning and a custom bracket for tilting - well done! Any plans to proceed with the design of a finger?

Thank you. No, I just got interested in the wrist by the interview and for some unknown reason, it was intriguing. Now on to something else.
