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
That is one of the coolest ideas I've seen so far in first. APPLAUSE for this inventor!
I have got to make one of these, it looks like a blast! If I were you I'd wrap that thing with a cylinder of thin plastic sheet, to keep the cables from getting caught on stuff and pulled around. Now I'm excited to see this at UCF. Good job guys! |

Think of it like when you reel a fishing pole in too far, and it bends over because of the pressure. |

Is it safe to assume that you guys have some clever control, or are you manually controlling the tension on the cables? |

Re: pic: Our spine
Unfortunatly the motors for the arm dont have encoders, however we dont really need them. I will say we do have "somthing special'' that helps with control.
