Very cool. Annyone else see something like this as a potential variable-stiffness shock absorber?

In general I think this is awesome, I loved the reference to using this kind of manipulator in prosthetics. I don't know if it could be used in FRC (although I tip my hat off to the teams who try), but it certainly is cool. thanks!
