made this really cool finger mechanism (explanation in later images)



2) (red = stationary) a mechanism like this allowed for rotational movement of the orange part without rotating it in space
3) if the green connecting beams are crossed over, it causes the orange to simultaneously rotate in the same direction when any green part is rotated (think of it as the other green part pulling on the end)
4) mulitple of these mechanisms can be chained together to create multiple joints all driven by the base
5) in blender, IK is used from the vertical orange/yellow parts through one of the green parts to the base to avoid dependency loops
