With the ‘finger
With the ‘finger condoms’ on the gripper it looked like some sort of scary airport customs equipment….
Great stuff!

Hi ChuckCrunch
This is a very cool project and very well design and construction !
I like very much your control system and the polycaprolactone use.
Do you have an address to buy some, please, (I live in France) on the web perhaps ?
Thanks for sharing your work :)
The first video make me laugh a lot : a suicide robot in live (at the end LOL)
Keep the good work and have fun

Found a UK supplier
http://www.maplin.co.uk/polymorph-35511?tabid=1&source=2&doy=8m1
Dunno if its a good price though. (and if they will ship to Denmark a reasonable price)

I don't know for sure
but, it sort of resembles polymorph. Gareth has done a lot with polymorph and showed it off around this site.
