As I continue to design my mechanism, I have decided that having a "shell," so to speak, to encase the mechanism would make it both more legitimate as a robotic arm, and make it more worth wearing.
During the week I have been searching online for ways of building a "shell" for my arm that would be form fitting and mobile. While searching I found a website made by David J. Guyton who sells "easy" make designs for different gauntlets. This is exactly what I have been looking for, so I plan to build this shell, most likely over winter break.
Building the "shell" I feel should be done as fast as possible because it has a specific design, and it would be easier to fit the mechanism to the case, then the case to the mechanism.
I haven't decided which design to use for my project yet, so it could be either of the two designs seen in the pictures.
