How to create a mechanism for a gripper

In this video, I show how to create a mechanism for a gripper that is offset from the robot mounting plate. It was originally posted as a response to this thread: https://forums.robotstudio.com/discussion/12528/attaching-tool-to-an-adapter

Reviewing the video I see that I've made a mistake (said something wrong) regarding why the tool was up in the air. It is not because of the Tooldata values, it's because of where it is placed when the mechanism was compiled.

Throughout the video, I make more mistakes and I show how to correct them. Perhaps this can be useful for those who end up making the same mistakes.

Please note that this video was recorded in one take, without a script, so it's a little rough. :)
