Chris,
I've been working on variations on my pneumatic inchworm, so I've got
pneumatics on the brain again.
I've got to break the camera out soon. I've got a 3 piston 3 switch octopod
that I got working. I've also got a 7 segment inchworm with two waves traveling
down the body. I've been trying to get something like a sidewinder snake going,
but a reasonably sized solution has eluded me. A six foot snake is just too big
IMHO.
I'd guess you'd want to use the square bottomed medium piston, because square
bottom allows you to force the angle of the piston rod.
Off to Duluth Minnesota!
Merry Christmas.
Kevin
