where can I find the robot hand?

probably a silly question but in your flexing muscle carving do the gears automatically offset to allow the arms to be synchronized? If they were perfect mirror images wouldn't one hand be slightly advanced from the other? Will the program take care of this?

Did you finish the elephant as well?

How do you edit the roundness of the shape? This program looks a bit different than the one in the video. And, can a classroom be set up by a teacher for students?
