The hand is assembled by means of 8 screws located on the back (“wrist”) position. These screws are designed with common spacing in mind, being compatible with assembly on Robotis Dynamixel Pro Series (such as used in Thor-Mang). | The hand is assembled by means of 8 screws located on the back (“wrist”) position.

- | The wrist rotation has slightly over 180º of range. Therefore, for correct assembly, rotate central hub so that triangle in center part aligns with top triangle in outer shell. This corresponds to neutral angle. Wrist will rotate 90 degrees left and right from this position. | + | The wrist rotation has aproximately |
