[Orca Hand] Finger closing sequence desync after retensioning for builders researchers (intermediate)

Orca Hand discussion on finger closing order changing after retensioning, uneven response after maintenance, and how teams restore synchronized grasp behavior.

A confusing Orca Hand maintenance problem appears after cable retensioning. The hand may look mechanically healthier, but finger closing order changes enough that familiar grasps become biased, delayed, or unstable.

How are you diagnosing Orca Hand finger closing sequence desynchronization after retensioning?

Please share how you compare finger timing before and after maintenance, what signs tell you one digit was over-tightened or under-tightened, and how you re-balance the hand without chasing noise.

If you reply, include one exact post-retensioning symptom and one exact timing or mechanical check that helped restore synchronized closure.

    The best replies describe whether the desync showed up in free-space closure, contact onset, or object-specific grasps first.

    If one timing test or repeated close-open routine made the imbalance obvious, share it. Searchers often need that quick procedure.

    It also helps to explain how you knew the hand was balanced enough to trust data collection again.
