Hi!
Inspired by Karsten knee example, above, I created a simple robot arm with three joints and grouped the nodes in a way that makes the cascading better visible: the same block is used three times - I guess it would be possible to create a macro for that.
However, I'm still wondering if it's possible to do this cascaded rotation much simpler: at the moment, the whole thing is rotated, at first. Then everything is split in order to work on the next joint (and so on). I think it would be much simpler if only the first "bone" and "joint" are rotated and the rest orients itself accordingly. Maybe I need to use RotatePts, instead, building cascaded frames?
BTW.: I made a few observations:
1. "Concat" appears to be limited to six inputs (the "Inputs" field is greyed out in the right click pop-up menue after slot "f" has been created).
2. Of you need more than one clone, then you need to cascade Clone. Does it make sense to extend Clone for more than two outputs?
best regards
Bernhard
