i totally agree. Ive trifled my time with it, and even if there were a way your best bet is to just make a stiff piece and say its moving. generally there are cooler things your going to want to show on your robot in the thirty seconds you have anyway

on another note- i dont feel like starting a new thread- can someone give me the due date for the autodesk inventor award?
