Testing for this project will be done with the thought that someone building this at home will just be assembling this articulated prosthetic for use. The testing will push each part to the maximum of its ability’s by putting each item past its maximum calculate load. Each part in the articulation section has a safety factor of at least 1.5 of its given rating. 

The testing will consist of several test that will help determine the ability of the gearbox and articulation of the hand. Some of the tests will combine the speed of movement and ability to hold objects.

The data shows that the motors and gearbox lose little in speed or moment under testing.  The data shows repeatablity in the system.
