o.k. so let me get this right: poa doesn't necessarily dictate dof. poa
refers to the axes a given object can rotate around, but dof refers to the
limitations (or lack thereof) in space a given object can move around in.
according to eric, i may use multiple ball joints (multiple poa) to create a
limited amount of space that, say, an arm can move around in. therefore, i
have many poa, but not necessarily a lot of dof. is this right, or do i
need to start taking engineering classes?
