The more complicated the project, the less likely it will see the light of day. I say forget about rotating grippers and fancy foo foo valves and bindledorpers. Build it to work and go have fun. Obviously a rotating gripper is better but we are not operating DW's under oil platforms. Your wrist solution is perfect! Rotating wrists can be added at any time, as a matter of act, there is a hydraulic rotator on ebay right now for 149 bucks. A hydraulic rotator
