Moving Neck

[jerivl]

Issue: Reviewer requested a moving neck

Task: Neck should move according to the music, similar to the arms.

Solution 1: Rails at bottom of the robot (like a rocking chair). Movement from the arms will drive the movement there

• Pros: Easy to implement
• Cons: Not easy to control. May be able to accomplish this by performing arm movements that remove forward momentum (hard)

Solution 2: Motorized movement at the base of the robot. Single axis driven by 1 or more servo motors.

• Pros: Controllable using the same system used for the arms
• Cons: Very dependent on the overall weight of the robot and torque of the motors.
