  stiff balls
 
Hi, I'm just stepping over from my regular haunt at .space to ask a small question of you mecha gurus. Has anyone figured out a way to stiffen up ball joints?

  Re: articulation points?
 
The main reason it would make sense to quote the total DOF is that is determines the volume the arm needs or is able to work in. For example imagine a snake-bot with a dozen 2 DOF joints. It can reach around objects to position it's effector. So it (...) (22 years ago, 21-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.technic)
