The control problems must be significant though, as it seems to have more degrees of freedom than the 'WildCat' series. Then again, I would not be surprised to learn that the additional mechanical complexity is well worth it, once the controls are up to the job that any real cat does without blinking...

If you hear the sound of the 'WildCat' starting up, you know that there is a petrol engine in there, designed to produce rotary motion through combustion, while what you want is something that provides contraction (or expansion) without any steps in between...

We can still compare the vertebrate pattern with the arthropods, but unfortunately they are much smaller and do not need to cope with the same forces.Jannoreply@blogger.com
