Smile Re: HUMINOID ROBOTS

I also was amazed at the abilitys of the small robots, but my though is to design a robot arm for FRC that closely matches (not exactly) the movement of the hands and arms of humans. You than could build a harnes that you could strap on your own body to control it. Think of the last game, as you reach out, grab lift and install the tubes on the rack the robot would mimic it exactly and do the same. This would greatly improve contol and send FRC to the next level. A two finger hand with a thumb using cables to close is not that hard to build. The problem with comtroling the wrist and arms is the limits of the motors we have to use.
