  • @Ragondarknes
    @Ragondarknes Před rokem +310

    Very interesting.
    I will theorise here that because the joints are at 25 degrees angle, instead of 22.5 (Which would be half of 45, or 1/8th of a 360 circle), this is why some movements or positions look like they're not quite straight. But obviously you're limited in what angle you can make by the lego parts themselves.

      As this mechanism is used as a thrust vectoring nozzle for a VTOL jet, I guess the 25° ( --> "overbending") are intentional. This gives the aircraft somecontrol authority in every direction when hovering.

    A fun thought: add one more module, make it a bit sturdier, carefully account for balance and have batteries, and you’ve got yourself an interesting Slinkybot that, when enclosed with a flexible shell, may work better as a Mars explorer because it can’t get wheels buried in the sand. It may help to change the number of degrees for each segment, and not being constrained to Legos, that’d be easy enough.

  • @_ninthRing_
    @_ninthRing_ Před rokem +3

    Brilliant work! It's such a fascinating design. A way of "bending" a joint without having a hinge which gives robots an incredibly wide degree of motion.
    There are analoguous structures which have evolved in the legs of insects: joints which only contain rotational segments, but appear to bend much like our elbows.
    It would be pretty odd looking if humans had joints similar to this. Could you imagine how bizarre something as commonplace as _Walking_ would look..!?
