I need some help with an animation i am doing with our robot. I made an animation using Inventor 2008 in the Inventor studio. I got the arm to move up and down but I can not get it to open/close in a pincer movement.
Any help would be appreciated.
Here is a link to one of the renderings.

Hi Derek,
Glad you found your way in here!
Like I posted over on the other message board: you should investigate using CONSTRAINT ANIMATE within Studio (rather than COMPONENT ANIMATE). I will assume that your robot assembly is constrained using mates, aligns, etc… and not constructed using all grounded components.
The people posting here have done it all!
Our regional was a week and a half ago and our first-year team did pretty good.
Yeah i definately costrained most of the file. I just dont know how to get the pincer movement and it really is annoying because this is the only thing that is in my way of getting this done.
If you zip and attach or send me the files I can probably help you out.
Ok do you have an email or where do I send it?
If you followed the url link in my signature you should find my email.
