 The most important deisgn criteria is always performance in any of the parts / systems we design. But we do try to abide by the saying -- if it doesn't look good (right), it probably isn't good (right). - Adam Freeman [more] |

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
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
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! |
