Re: Octomecanum Shifting Question
Are you referring to bending that would be caused by robot-on-robot impacts?
I've never built one, but in the designs that I've seen, the pneumatic cylinder would be allowed to rotate at the blind end, so that as it extends, the cylinder will rotate so that the force always goes along it's axis.
