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.

Very neat, but does that exceed the 72" limit?

So you guys are going for the gusto by adding the manipulator to the arm since I talked to you on Friday. That is awesome.

I cannot wait to see the video.

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.

except you can control the direction it bends, so you can pick up in the front, the back, or any where in between just by changing the tension on the 4 cables.

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

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.
