Files
Steps to reproduce
The .gif files are self-contained animations from a fixed viewpoint. Viewing the .scad files with the open-source Open SCAD software available at openscad.org allows viewing these robot animations from different viewpoints. After opening a file and zooming and choosing a viewpoint, select View followed by Animate from the menu. In the data-entry boxes below the main robot plot, enter values of Time (enter 0 for the start), FPS: (enter 10 for 10 frames per second) and Steps: (the optimal numbers of steps are 103 for RobotIsolatedOverheadWrist.scad, 110 for RobotCoincidentOverheadWrist.scad and 84 for RobotNearExtendedWrist.scad)
