Re: pic: CGX-108 front

Also bumping this thread because I still love this design.

There are ways to work around backdriving, but backlash is a much nastier problem to extinguish from high-reduction precision systems. This is one area where cycloidal components excite me. Granted, if you put any additional mechanical reductions after the output shaft, you're re-introducing the possibility of backlash. Thus right now we'd be limited by what the Versa output shaft can support.

Even still, this would be one of the few products I'd push to become an "early adopter" of (even if just on practice/demo machines).
