The one I borrowed from Grabcad is pretty good but it’s not really ideal, it’s quite limited in it’s movement range and contorting it into the desired pose is occasionally quite frustrating. Of course you only need to build half a robot since you can...

I added some more yaw motors but then realised that this would mean 8 motors controlling yaw but only 4 for pitch and 4 for roll…. Oh well, work in progress etc etc… it does start to look a bit much though don’t you think? Still, no one will see it...

It doesn’t quite look it does it? :p However it’s always better to add options and mounting points before you simplify since it’s so easy to remove them afterwards. Try to think of all the possibilities so you’re able to add on more motors...

I did mention using one double long chain for one rotation axis but I think a lot can be said for just using the same length for both. This reduces part numbers since we can just use the same bits. Standard configuration would come as a 4 part X as shown below but...

If the omnichains work then we should be able to get some great responsive movement for pitch and roll quite easily, but what about yaw? Yaw is possibly a movement that we can drop and the user wouldn’t notice, since the sphere is tethered we’re not able...
