Attached is a pic of my proof-of-concept finger based on ndrplz's video.
I was surprised at how much force it takes to curl the finger: servo sounded like it was straining and was drawing about half an amp.
But all good fun, and I thought, what the heck, might as well mount in in a surplus box to hold the servo steady while it hauled on the string. And lucky I had those two old electric conduit clamps in the cellar.
Note to self: get new blade in junior hacksaw, that fibrous hose is a bugger to cut otherwise.
