Session Breakdown
1
Gauntlet Design & Planning
Choose your mechanisms, plan space layout, and design trigger placement.
2
Frame Construction
Build gauntlet frame with mounting points for servos, actuators, and mechanisms.
3
Servo & Actuator Integration
Install micro servos and linear actuators, wire controllers, test range of motion.
4
Mechanism Assembly
Build blade extension, panel opening, or rotation systems with precise linkages.
5
Trigger System
Install finger switches in glove, wire to controller, program trigger responses.
6
Testing & Tuning
Test all mechanisms, fine-tune timing, adjust sensitivity, and demo your gauntlet.
Take Home Your Gauntlet!
A fully functional motorized gauntlet with mechanisms, servos, controller, and triggers — ready to wear.
