 ====== Week 11: Soft robotics ======
-This week I designed and 3D printed a mould similar to the soft gripper mould in the presentation, which I used to create a soft gripper out of silicone rubber. I attempted to inflate the gripper but because of a tear in the side of the gripper, it did not inflate much.

+I would say that it's very important to take care when pouring the silicone into the mould and ensure there are no holes forming. And also to be careful when handling the gripper once dry, to make sure that it doesn't tear.
