Ummm....I'm not sure it's as articulated as you think. It
appears that the arm is made out of pvc, and all the joints aren't articulated. The curve at the end appears to be so to allow their end effector to stay inline with the main arm. Although that is one pretty pimp end effector. It swivels! So I count 3 joints, and one pimp grabber! ( shoulder, elbow, wrist, pimp grabber)
Anyone from 191 want to help us out?
----------EDIT----------------------------------
I don't think you could make a ten joint arm in first, barring pnuematics. 4 cims, 1 window, 1 van door, 1 jideco, 2 fisher price, a globe, and a machubuchi. Soooo......with 2 drive motors, you're 1 motor short. But.......a nine motor arm could be done............
Maybe next year!
