  We were a little bit worried about this too!
  
  All the motors in the hand are quite small, which allows it to have the same dexterity as a human hand but means that it isn’t very strong. It can grasp things tightly, but couldn’t crush your hand. If you did try squeezing somebody’s hand very tightly, the robot hand would break before the human hand!
