Looks nice. Elaborate arm it has, but elaborate hand it does not. The fingers mearly open and close, there are no independent side-to-side motion for any of its 3 fingers. Therefore it couldn't grab a ball or lightbulb any differently than a pole or in this case, a can. I'm also a little worries how well it will handle center of gravity when picking up anything over a pound or two. Good luck though!!!
