I've got a simulation of our robot w/ a flexible design via torsional springs, which can be made rigid. I want to put out a set of videos on Youtube that show the effects of each degree of freedom vs the rigid version on a simulated obstacle course / natural rough terrain.

See here

The simulation has been heavily upgraded, and is pretty much ready for some video creation. Major changes will be discussed.

renders for the flexible body have been created. uploading to youtube

First two videos are of the robot constrained to move straight, with roll and pitch springs: 3D View Side View

Talked to Naomi Leonard today about control of the robot, got a good mathematical idea of how to represent the system.

closing this, a lot has happened and the simulation needs to be split into separate issues
