∑  Scale it down (S), stretch it along the Y-axis (S   Y), and move the top face upwards

                                 (G   Z).

                            Adding Details:
                               ∑  Insert edge loops for subdivisions: Ctrl + R.

                               ∑  Extrude specific faces along normals: Alt + E.
                               ∑  Bevel edges for smoothness: Ctrl + B.

                  Step  3   Design the Lower Arm

                            Shape Creation:
                               ∑  Add a plane: Shift + A   Mesh   Plane.
                               ∑  Scale it down (S), extrude upwards (E), and bevel edges (Ctrl + Shift + B).

                            Detail Enhancements:
                               ∑  Add loop cuts: Ctrl + R.
                               ∑  Extrude specific regions to create a structured design.


                  Step  4   Create the Wrist and Joints
                            Wrist:
                               ∑  Add a plane, scale it, and extrude upwards.
                               ∑  Bevel the edges for a smooth finish.

                               ∑  Use a mirror modifier for symmetry: Add Modifier   Mirror.

                            Joints:
                               ∑  Add circles and cylinders for joints.
                               ∑  Scale, fill faces (F), and extrude as needed.
                               ∑  Use constraints like Track To for rotational dependencies.


                  Step  5   Add the Hydraulic System

                            Piston Creation:
                               ∑  Add a cylinder for the piston and align it with the arm structure.
                               ∑  Extrude and scale components for a precise fit.

                            Hydraulic Arm:
                               ∑  Add planes for hydraulic rods, bevel edges, and extrude them for smoothness.
                               ∑  Use a Mirror Modifier for symmetry.

                            Connecting Hydraulics:
                               ∑  Parent hydraulic components to the arm parts: Ctrl + P   Object.
                               ∑  Add constraints to ensure proper movement.


                  Step  6   Add Constraints and Rigging
                            Parenting:
                               ∑  Parent all arm components in a hierarchical chain: Ctrl + P.
