Re: pic: Our spine
So that's what you guys were up to! Very clever! What are you using to drive your spine and how easy is it to contol? I would expect it to bounce around quite a bit, especially with a tube on the end.

Re: pic: Our spine
It's their manipulator...
If I'm guessing right, you have 4 cables attached to the end, and by applying/releasing tension in the opposing cables you can theoretically move the "spine" anywhere like a turret and bend like a joing with simplicity. Amazing, this should win an award if it's functionality is good. Love the bot guys. |

Re: pic: Our spine
To control it were using two motors and a pully system, to keep it from bouncing around we have tensioners at the end, ill be posting the finished product soon.

Re: pic: Our spine
Very Innovative... It will be interesting to see how it functions!
 Can you tell what that material is you used for the spine's core? What regionals are you guys going to? I usually don't ask two questions in a row? -q |

Re: pic: Our spine
We do cover it so the cables dont get tangle up with anything, its made out of a fiberglass antenna for a boat, its very strong and flexable, and were going to the florida regional.
