Bayonet mount (micro 4/3's camera style) is built on the hands right now -- you can see the stubby ends in the simulated model, you'll be able to print or machine the other end pretty easily with the female receiver u43 piece and the drafted profile.

You can see even with peers like Unitree that there really isn't a 'one size fits all' for manipulation, and with that comes a real need for rapid prototyping and versatility. Good to point out, and its definitely been a focus for us.

And it's been great just as a jumping-off point -- now that the dexterity for the robot is open for interpretation, everyone that has come in to see the robot has come up own ideas on what they could fit on the robot for their application. Everything from spatulas to pallet forks. Really encouraging to have so much interest around it.

As far as feet are concerned, also definitely a focus for us, and we've been looking at different profiles and different materials to improve the stability and the grip on different terrains. Also 3D printed for now, rapid iteration is key.
