Bite my shiny metal a%s!
Now we have bulid-in servomotors!

Bend - turn it on
BendConstant - motor power
BendTarget - angle

[Gear97]

Very interesting, so that is what "bend variables" do, really very interesting.
Well what to do now ? Robotic hands ?

This thing really is fun:

Cool, I will use it on my robot.

[Kilinich]

too bad it can't work as torsion suspension - too much jitter/oscillations

Yes, I actually found this out quite a while ago. Well before Kilinich posted this topic.

Hmm... one could make stepper motors out of this...

I also found that "traditional" hinge motors/brakes kill the bend param. That is,
{motor = true && bend = true} == {motor = true && bend = false}.

You could use this to simulate snapping plastic...

[Rrobba]

Interesting. I could use this.

Hi guys
very cool these servo
uses the target value degree? it seems more like its using 3,1415926535897932384626433832795... not very comfortable

Radians is more common, so everything fine. If you want degrees - just use function
scene.my.rad := (deg) => {math.pi * deg /180};

I like this feature.

[KarateBrot]

wtf i didn't recognize the new variables it's a neat feature if you want to aim at angles because there's no more need of a sensor that's detecting the actual angle. awesome!
algodoos new solver is cool

[RaRaMalum]

This feature will be insanely useful.
As seen in the scene below it can handle 38 independently moving legs(2 hinges each), so there's much less lag aswell.
