Inspired heavily by the Festo actuators, but cost me 2GBP. Its pretty strong, and currently powered via a simple 3mm tube connected to a bike pump. The bicoaxial braided cuff is a kids chinese finger trap, and the inner expendable portion a water balloon. Metal swist tie wires do the binding, and dental floss used for the high tensile low friction tenden/connective tissue.
