Re: High schoolers w/in 5 hrs of Cambridge, MA interested in robot arms that draw?

Eck, I can't edit my post anymore, but here is a video of it drawing a narwhal: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2v2RA_bAGDU

There have to be more high schoolers who like robot arms in the northeastern US area! Haha.

Also, no worries, our goal is to validate this in real life and then offer the course online in the next few months or so. Also if you are like me and want to make dancing hexapods right NOW here is some useful info about inverse kinematics here:

Warning: trigonometry involved.
