Ian Pritchard says a tendon-drive proof of concept is finally alive.
- The actuators are working in one setup, though not in the optimal configuration yet.
- Two more configurations still need testing.
- Two fresh actuator topologies are also planned.
- He says the coil winder will be busy this week, implying more iteration is coming.
