Robot hand from seven parts - 1

Take one or more of each of the following parts, snap or friction fit them together and you get a robot hand!

Snap the first two together to create a rotating joint:

Hold a couple of those together with a connection piece and you get finger:

At one end of the finger place a finger tip:

Give the thumb an additional degree of rotation:

 Use a spacer between the fingers...

when you slide them on the wrist, then snap the thumb on and the hand is ready.
