Re: Pneumatic Muscle

In reading the specs for the muscle, we determined that we weren't capable enough to fully ensure alignment during the 'muscle' retraction. Read that part carefully! We also didn't fully understand how to quantify it's force properties given that as it contracts, it gets gemetrically weaker. If we'd had it in the offseason to play with, maybe we would have considered it for the game.
